Abstract

Surveys involving sensitive characteristics entail applying innovative tools such as Randomized Response Techniques (RRTs) to elicit responses from the sampled units. This manuscript proposes one such new two-stage RRT, involving two simple and common randomization devices, namely, a coin and a die. Empirical study has been conducted to show its efficacy over contemporary estimator in terms of both Percentage Relative Efficiency and Privacy Protection. Application of the proposed RRT to election polling has been discussed efficiently. The appropriateness of such application has been illustrated via detailed simulation study. The results have been tabulated and recommendations made for the use of the proposed estimation strategy.
