Randomized response techniques

Model Assisted Statistics and Applications, 2014
Collection of data on sensitive characteristics from human populations is not an easy task. For example sensitive questions: (a) Are you an Alawite? (b) Are you gay? (c) Have you ever molested a child? (d) Have you underreported your income on your tax return? (e) Do you smoke marijuana?, and (f) Have you ever cheated on an exam?, etc.

A generalized randomized response technique

Metrika, 2003
To eliminate a major source of bias in surveys of human populations resulting from respondents refusal to cooparate in cases where a question of sensitive nature is involved, the idea of “randomized response” was introduced by Warner (1965). In this paper, an alternative randomized response technique is presented which improves upon the pioneering work

Randomized Response Technique in a National Survey

Journal of the American Statistical Association, 1978
Abstract The randomized response technique was used in the 1973 National Survey of Family Growth to produce estimates of the number of women having abortions during a 12-month period in the conterminous United States. The model applied used two unrelated questions in separate half-samples, with a coin as the randomizing device.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

An Alternative Randomized Response Technique Using Inverse Sampling

Calcutta Statistical Association Bulletin, 2002
This paper proposes several upper bounds of the variance of the estimator [Formula: see text] (say) suggested by Mangat and Singh (1990) making use of an inverse binomial randomized response (IBRR) procedure.

The Efficiency of the Multiple Trial Randomized Response Technique

Biometrics, 1976
It has been proven theoretically that repeated administration of two-related-question randomized response technique (RRT) substantially increases the efficiency by reducing the variance of the estimate. The realtive efficiency of RRT to direct question with various number of trials per respondent under various degrees of truthful response and various ...

Constructing indirect randomized response techniques using symmetry of response

Journal of Information and Optimization Sciences, 2005
This paper considers the problem of estimating the population proportion when the study variable is sensitive in nature. Some indirect randomized response techniques are proposed, which maintain the requirement of efficiency and protection of confidentiality.
