Estimation of Finite Population Variance Using Scrambled Responses in the Presence of Auxiliary Information
Estimation of Finite Population Variance Using Scrambled Responses in the Presence of Auxiliary Information
In this article, a new estimator for estimating the finite population variance of a sensitive variable based on scrambled responses collected using a randomization device is introduced. The estimator is then improved by using known auxiliary information. The estimators due to Das and Tripathi (1978: Sankhya) and Isaki (1983: JASA) …
