Abstract:

In this paper, we consider the simple and crossed models proposed by Lee, Sedory and Singh (2013: Statistics and Probability Letters) to collect information on two sensitive characteristics and their overlaps using randomized response techniques involving two decks of cards. We develop new Pseudo-Bayes and Pseudo-Empirical Bayes estimators by following Chen and Singh (2011: Journal of Statistical Computation and Simulation). We investigate the properties of the new estimators by computing the relative efficiency values with respect to their competitors.
