Parameter Estimation in Stratified Cluster Sampling under Randomized Response Models for Sensitive Question Survey
نویسندگان
چکیده
Randomized response is a research method to get accurate answers to sensitive questions in structured sample survey. Simple random sampling is widely used in surveys of sensitive questions but hard to apply on large targeted populations. On the other side, more sophisticated sampling regimes and corresponding formulas are seldom employed to sensitive question surveys. In this work, we developed a series of formulas for parameter estimation in cluster sampling and stratified cluster sampling under two kinds of randomized response models by using classic sampling theories and total probability formulas. The performances of the sampling methods and formulas in the survey of premarital sex and cheating on exams at Soochow University were also provided. The reliability of the survey methods and formulas for sensitive question survey was found to be high.

Improved Estimation of Rare Sensitive Attribute in a Stratified Sampling Using Poisson Distribution
In this study, we propose a two stage randomized response model. Improved unbiased estimators of the mean number of persons possessing a rare sensitive attribute under two different situations are proposed. The proposed estimators are evaluated using a relative efficiency comparison. It is shown that our estimators are efficient as compared to existing estimators when the parameter of rare unre...

BACKGROUND Traditional survey methods may cause refusals to respond or untruthful replies when encounter the sensitive questions. The Randomized Response Technique (RRT) is designed to decrease social desirability bias and obtain reliable estimates. This study aimed to apply these new methods on the sensitive questions survey. METHODS Simmons model was applied in the survey of issues relevant...
متن کاملImproved Estimation of Mean in Randomized Response Models
The present investigation considers the problem of estimating the mean of a sensitive quantitative variable μA in a human population survey, using the scrambled response technique suggested by Ryu, Kim, Heo and Park (On stratified randomized response sampling, Model Assisted Statistics and Application 1(1), 31–36, 2005–2006). Specifically, using the prior estimate (or guessed mean) of the mean ...
متن کاملThe Dirichlet-Multinomial Model for Multivariate Randomized Response Data and Small Samples
In survey sampling the randomized response (RR) technique can be used to obtain truthful answers to sensitive questions. Although the individual answers are masked due to the RR technique, individual (sensitive) response rates can be estimated when observing multivariate response data. The beta-binomial model for binary RR data will be generalized to handle multivariate categorical RR data. The...
متن کاملEstimation of Sensitive Proportion by Randomized Response Data in Successive Sampling
This paper considers the problem of estimation for binomial proportions of sensitive or stigmatizing attributes in the population of interest. Randomized response techniques are suggested for protecting the privacy of respondents and reducing the response bias while eliciting information on sensitive attributes. In many sensitive question surveys, the same population is often sampled repeatedly...
