Abstract

This paper proposed a new Randomized Response Group Testing (RRGT) model that estimates proportion of people characterizing a sensitive variable under study. Simple random sampling with replacement, binomial probability distribution and maximum likelihood were used as randomization procedure, sampling model and estimation technique, respectively. The distributional properties (expectation and variance) of the proposed estimator, efficiency comparison of the model with some existing models, and numerical illustration of all the competing models were also explored. The study found that the developed model outperformed competing existing orthodox RRMs and earlier RRGT model in terms of efficiency, privacy protection and it is economically advantageous.
