- Abstract
In social surveys, the respondents often tend to refuse to provide truthful information on sensitive issues. The technique of randomized response is a useful tool to collect reliable data by ensuring the privacy protection of the respondents. This paper presents a new modified randomized response scrambling procedure which is found to be more efficient than the existing techniques. Besides efficiency, the joint measure of respondent-privacy and efficiency is also smaller than the existing models which indicates that the overall quality of the proposed model is better than the existing quantitative randomized response models. A real-life example of data collection through the proposed model is also presented. The improvement in percent relative efficiency and privacy protection is shown for various choices of parameters.
