A comparative study of randomized response techniques using separate and combined metrics of efficiency and privacy. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2023 In social surveys, the randomized response technique can be considered a popular method for collecting reliable information on sensitive variables. Over the past few decades, it has been a common practice that survey researchers develop new randomized ...

Synthesized randomized response techniques
Scientific African, 2023 Reducing response bias in survey research is important in ensuring that the data collected accurately represents the population of interest. This study proposes the synthesized random response technique (SRRT) estimator as an efficient method to reduce ...

General randomized response techniques using Polya's Urn process as a randomization device. [PDF]
PLoS ONE, 2014 In this paper, interesting improvements in [1] and [2] randomized response techniques have been proposed. The proposed randomized response technique applies Polya's urn process (see [3]) to obtain data from respondents.

Cryptographic Randomized Response Techniques [PDF]
, 2004 We develop cryptographically secure techniques to guarantee unconditional privacy for respondents to polls. Our constructions are efficient and practical, and are shown not to allow cheating respondents to affect the ``tally'' by more than their own vote -- which will be given the exact same weight as that of other respondents. We demonstrate solutions

Calibrated optional randomized response techniques for efficient and robust estimation of quantitative sensitive variables [PDF]
Scientific ReportsThis paper introduced new classes of calibrated randomized response techniques (C-ORRT) models aimed at estimating sensitive information. The proposed C-ORRT models were developed by modifying existing RRT models using auxiliary variable through ...

Calibrated-Two Optional Randomized Response Techniques (C-TORRT) for the estimation of quantitative sensitive variable information. [PDF]
PLoS ONEAccurate estimation of sensitive quantitative variables remains a challenge in survey research due to respondents' reluctance to disclose truthful information. While existing randomized response techniques (RRT) offer privacy protection, many suffer from

Multicriteria Evaluation of Randomized Response Techniques for Population Mean [PDF]
Statistika: Statistics and Economy Journal, 2023 Increasing demand in surveys focused on quantitative characteristics (population mean among others) of controversial issues like corruption, tax evasion, drugs consumption of sensitive variables like spending on drugs or illegal sources of income which ...

New Randomized Response Technique for Estimating the Population Total of a Quantitative Variable [PDF]
Statistika: Statistics and Economy Journal, 2022 A new randomized response technique for estimating the population total, or the population mean of a quantitative variable is proposed. It provides a high degree of protection to the respondents because they never report their data.
