On the Efficiency of the Newly Developed Composite Randomized Response Technique

Abstract

In today’s data‐driven decision‐making era, acquiring accurate information is vital. However, survey research faces challenges with sensitive issues. To address this, the Composite Randomized Response Technique (CRRT) was introduced in estimating the proportion of respondents possessing sensitive attributes. This study revealed that as the model captures more and more people involved in the sensitive attributes ( π s ) from 0.1 to 0.4, the relative efficiency of CRRT increases from 2.2217 to 678.7843. Hence, CRRT was found to be more efficient than the conventional model, making it a robust approach for surveys targeting sensitive attributes, enhancing data accuracy, and supporting effective policy evaluation and resource allocation.
