Abstract:
|
In this paper, we adjust the Kuk (1990) model for both protection and efficiency by making use of proportions of two non-sensitive characteristics which are unrelated to the main sensitive characteristic of interest. The situations where the proportions of the two non-sensitive characteristics in the population of interest are known and unknown are investigated. To avoid any confusion, we first briefly explain the Kuk's model. Then we discuss an adjustment in this model that makes use of two non-sensitive characteristics. We compare the adjusted model and Kuk's model through a simulation study from both the protection and efficiency points of views.
