本文提出了一个可选择的随机反应模型。基于随机抽样的柱头化变量均值的估计比基于随机抽样技术的均值估计更有效。除了估计总体均值和方差之外，还表明可选的随机应答技术在量化个人访谈调查中问题的敏感性水平方面是有用的。提出了一个问题的敏感性水平的估计，并进行了实证研究，以显示所提出的估计技术的有效性。我们还提出了一个测试的敏感性水平的污名化变量。(C)2002 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
In this paper, an optional randomized response model is proposed. The estimator of the mean of the stigmatized variable based on the optional randomized response sampling is shown to be more efficient than the usual estimator of the mean based on randomized response technique method. In addition to estimating population mean and variance, it has been shown that the optional randomized response technique is useful in quantifying the sensitivity levels of the questions in the personal interview surveys. An estimator for the sensitivity level of a question is proposed and an empirical study is carried out to show the validity of the proposed estimation technique. We also propose a test for the sensitivity level of the stigmatized variable. (C) 2002 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
