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