Fixing Size of a Varying Probability Sample in a Direct and a Randomized Response Survey
16
Keywords:
Randomized response survey; Sample-size fixation; Varying probability sampling.Abstract
For a Direct Survey on innocuous characteristics Chebyshev’s inequality is helpful in prescribing the size of a sample in a survey. An extension of the same to cover stigmatizing features in Randomized Response (RR) survey is not smooth enough. Different situations are illustrated and solutions proposed. AMS subject classification: 62D05.
