Use of the Randomized Response Technique with a New Randomizing Device

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1975
Abstract This article presents a new randomizing device to obtain discrete quantitative as well as qualitative data on sensitive problems. The total number of balls in the randomizing device and the ratio of the different color balls which represent different sensitive characteristics are shown to affect the efficiency of estimates.

The Takahasi-Sakasegawa Randomized Response Technique

Sociological Methods & Research, 1982
The survey researcher who attempts to collect injormation on sensitive topics usually encounters resistance on the part of potential respondents. Subjects frequently either refuse to answer sensitive questions or give untruthful answers. The randomized response technique has been developed to facilitate the collection of sensitive information.

An Empirical Validation of the Randomized Response Technique

Journal of Marketing Research, 1978
Qualitative, quantitative, and ratio estimate randomized response models were tested in comparison with a conventional interview technique in the measurement of a sensitive issue with known true values. Results show that the randomized response model is successful in minimizing measurement error and provides more accurate estimates of sensitive ...

Making the Randomized Response Technique Work

Public Opinion Quarterly, 1976
T HE RANDOMIZED response technique first proposed by Warner (1965) has now undergone more than a decade of development. Prompting this effort has been the desire to obtain more reliable information when dealing with sensitive issues on surveys. As researchers in this area are fully aware, the two most frequently encountered problems when asking ...

A note on the randomized response technique

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 1977
It is pointed out that the usual estimators for the parameters of a randomized response model are not, contrary to popular belief, maximum likelihood estimators.

Software for Randomized Response Techniques

2016
Abstract The rapid evolution of technology in last decades has allowed conducting studies for complex surveys. Over time, the software is used in all steps of the survey: survey design, data collection, statistical data edition, statistical analysis, and publication results.

Modifying Classical Randomized Response Techniques with Provision for True Response

Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, 2011
In this paper we consider four well-known randomized response models; the unrelated question model, the unknown repeated trial model, the forced response model and a model for quantitative responses. Traditionally these models are applied to the respondents chosen by simple random sampling with replacement. We show that a modification may be applied to

Design and Analysis of the Randomized Response Technique

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 2015
About a half century ago, in 1965, Warner proposed the randomized response method as a survey technique to reduce potential bias due to nonresponse and social desirability when asking questions about sensitive behaviors and beliefs. This method asks respondents to use a randomization device, such as a coin flip, whose outcome is unobserved by the ...

Model selection in randomized response techniques for binary responses

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2017
ABSTRACTRandomized response techniques (RRTs) have been proposed in survey sampling literature as a solution to the problem of social desirability bias (SDB) while dealing with sensitive questions. All RRTs reduce the SDB by introducing privacy protection for the respondents, but the variances of the estimates become larger compared with the ones ...

Indirect Techniques as Alternatives to Randomized Response

2013
Numerous randomized response techniques have been developed to handle the case of stigmatizing characteristics. Warner’s (1965) pioneering technique was just the beginning. One of the main disadvantages of randomized response techniques is the fact that participants often are very skeptical about the whole process because, either they do not understand
