An efficient estimator of population variance of a sensitive variable with a new randomized response technique [PDF]
HeliyonIn sampling theory, a majority of the available estimators of population variance are designed for use with non-sensitive variables only. Such estimators cannot perform efficiently when the variable of interest is of sensitive nature, such as use of ...
