Abstract
Abstract:
Randomized Response (RR) Technique (RRT), introduced by Warner (1965), is a well‐known way to unbiasedly estimate proportions of people bearing sensitive characteristics. Takahasi and Sakasegawa (1977) narrated a novel procedure avoiding any particular RR device unlike most researchers in this field. Most RRT’s in the literature give estimators for population totals and variance estimators thereof, allowing exclusively simple random sampling with replacement (SRSWR) schemes, including as well the above too. We present formulae applicable to general varying probability sampling, even without replacement applying Takahasi‐ Sakasegawa device.
