| Abstract: | Presenting a general procedure of eliciting a randomized response (RR) from selected persons in order to estimate the total of a sensitive variable related to a finite survey population, we consider two estimators along with variance estimators treating the case of sampling with probabilities proportional to (known) size measures (PPS) with replacement (WR), drawing analogies with multi-stage sampling and note their relative efficacies. |
