Abstract:

Randomized response (RR) is an interview technique to sensitive questions that can protect respondent's privacy using a probability mechanism using randomization devices. Self-protection (SP) is introduced to evaluate the survey, describing the responses by participants who give the evasive answer without taking the result of the randomization device into account. In this study, we tackle two problems in RR using a Bayesian perspective: modeling RR sum score variables and estimation of the mean of the number of respondents who possessed a rare sensitive attribute.
