Abstract

The crux of this paper is to develop a new “Partial” randomized response model. Its properties are studied both theoretically as well as empirically. The proposed model is proved to be more efficient than the randomized response models studied by Eichhorn and Hayre [3] and the “Partial” randomized response model.
