The randomized response technique (RRT) is an effective method designed to obtain the stigmatized information from respondents while assuring the privacy. In this study, we propose a new two-stage RRT model to estimate the prevalence of sensitive attribute ([Formula: see text]). A simulation study shows that the empirical mean and variance of proposed estimator are close to corresponding theoretical values. The utility of proposed two-stage RRT model under stratification is also explored. An efficiency comparison between proposed two-stage RRT model and some existing RRT models is carried out numerically under simple and stratified random sampling.

This article is about making correction in Tarray, Singh, and Zaizai model and further improving it when stratified random sampling is necessary. This is done by using optional randomized response technique in stratified sampling using a combination of Mangat and Singh, Mangat, and Greenberg et al. models. The suggested model has been studied assuming proportional and Neyman allocation schemes. Numerical results show larger gains in efficiency. Through a detailed numerical study, it is established that the suggested model is relatively more efficient than the Kim and Warde model and the models mentioned above.

In this paper, we proposed a new Randomized Response Model (RRM) that estimate proportion of people in a population (P) belonging to a sensitive group (S) under study. Simple random sampling with replacement and stratified simple random sampling scheme were adopted. Maximum likelihood and Bayesian estimation procedures of the proposed model were developed and compared. The sampling distribution (expectation and variance) of the proposed estimator under the two sampling techniques, efficiency comparison of the proposed model with some existing models, and numerical illustration of all the compared models were also explored. We found that the proposed model outperformed other existing RRMs in terms of efficiency and it proved to be more protective in designing survey for sensitive related issues.
