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.

Hybrid tripartite randomized response technique

Communications in Statistics - Theory and Methods, 2017
ABSTRACTIn this paper, a new randomized response technique has been proposed that combines the unrelated question randomized response technique and tripartite randomized response technique. The relative efficiency of the newly proposed Randomized Response technique over the existing Randomized Response technique was obtained.

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

The Multi-Item Randomized Response Technique

Sociological Methods & Research, 2008
The randomized response technique (RRT) attempts to reduce social desirability bias in self-reports by creating a probabilistic relationship between the response given and the question posed. The multi-item RRT extends the RRT procedure to scales composed of multiple items.

An alternative to Warner's randomized response technique

2013
The paper considers two methods as an alternative to the usual Warner's randomized response technique. The proposed methods are more efficient to the Warner's strategy, one for p (the proportion of sensitive character in the randomized response device) > 1/3 and other for p< 2/3 when the respondents are truthful as well as when they are not ...
