Abstract

In this article, we have suggested a new randomized response model and its properties have beenstudied. The proposed model is found to be more efficient than the randomized response models studiedby Bar – Lev et al. (2004) and Eichhorn and Hayre (1983). The relative efficiency of the proposed modelhas been studied with respect to the Bar – Lev et al.’s (2004) and Eichhorn and Hayre’s (1983) models.Numerical illustrations are also given in support of the present study
