Abstract

In this paper, we review all of the major papers related to the use of two-decks of cards in randomized response sampling by Odumade and Singh (2009) which was an extension of the pioneered work of the Warner model (1965). On Google Scholar, the Odumade and Singh (2009) model shows 43 citations, which mean its own impact factor is 4.3 irrespective of the impact factor of the published journal. On similar lines, we will make a new randomized response model that could be adjusted to be more efficient than the Odumade and Singh (2009) model.
