A New Randomized Response Technique and its Comparison with Simmons Method

In survey sampling، the respondents often do not state the actual response to the sensitive questions. Randomized response techniques have been designed to protect the privacy of responses. This paper focused on the randomized response technique for qualitative variables based on Simmons method. Using idea of repeating answer، the new repeated randomized response technique is introduced. Its efficiency is compared with the Simmons technique. Proportion of student cheating in Shahid Chamran University is estimated using the proposed technique.
