An efficient new “Partial” randomized response model

ABSTRACT

In this article, a new “Partial” randomized response model has been proposed. Its properties are studied both theoretically and empirically. The proposed model is proved to be more efficient than the randomized response models studied by Eichhorn and Hayre (1983) and the “Partial” randomized response model.
