ABSTRACT
This paper proposes an efficient stratified randomized response model based on Chang et al.'s (2004) model. We have obtained the variance of the proposed estimator of πs, the proportion of the respondents in the population belonging to a sensitive group, under proportional and Neyman allocations. It is shown that the estimator based on the proposed model is more efficient than the Chang et al.'s (2004) estimator under both proportional as well as Neyman allocations, Hong et al.'s (1994) estimator and Kim and Warde's (2004) estimator. Numerical illustration and pictorial representation are given in support of the present study.
