Use of scrambled response for estimating mean of the sensitivity variable
Abstract In this article, we propose new efficient and more generalized difference-cum-exponential type estimator and generalized-difference-cum-generalized exponential type estimators for estimating the mean of sensitivity variable using the auxiliary information. We also discuss theoretically that proposed generalized estimators are more efficient than Sousa et al. (2010), Gupta et al. (2012) and Koyuncu, Gupta, and Sousa (2014) estimators. Results from a real life application and simulation study are presented to demonstrate the performance of the proposed mean estimators in relation to some of the existing mean estimators.
