A Stratified Hybrid Tripartite Randomized Response Technique

Abstract

This paper proposes a new stratified technique to address the problem involving estimation ofthe population proportion of people with sensitive attribute(s). Studying the proposed techniqueunder proportional and Neyman allocations shows that the proposed technique is more efficientthan (outperforms) the Singh & Gorey [1] and Tarray & Singh [2] stratified randomizedresponse models. Applying the proposed technique to a survey on drug use disorder also showsthe applicability of the model.
