摘要: 本文提出了一种新的随机化调查方法,Warner(1965)和Horvitz,Simmons(1967)随机化回答方法是本文方法的特殊情形.这一方法比Warner(1965)方法和Mangat(1990)方法更有效. 当考虑存在不真实回答时,在一定的条件下并且不损失对个体保护度和不增加调查成本的前提下,提出的方法优于Simmons(1967)方法和Sarjinder Singh(2000)方法.对简单随机不放回抽样,在总体非敏感属性个体比例未知的情况下,给出了两个子样本容量的最优配置.Abstract: In this paper a new randomized response device including Warner’s (1965) and Horvitz, Shah and Simmons’ (1967) devices as special case is proposed. This method is more efficient than Warner’s and Mangat’s (1990) randomized devices. When considering incomplete truthful answers come from respondents, under the condition that the probability of truthful report answer in present method is larger than one in preceding methods, the method in this paper is superior to Simmons’ and Sarjinder Singh’s (2000) methods without sacrificing respondent protection and at no additional sampling cost. Under simple random sampling scheme without replacement and unknown proportion of population possessing neutral attribute, the optimal allocation of sizes of two sub-samples is given.
