摘要
Randomized response methods for quantitative sensitive data are treated in an unified approach which includes the use of auxiliary information at the estimation stage. A class of estimators for the mean of a sensitive variable is proposed under a generic randomization model and the optimum estimator is obtained. Some special models are discussed in detail. To evaluate the degree of respondents' confidentiality in models using auxiliary variables, a new measure of privacy protection is introduced. Different models are then compared both from the perspective of efficiency and privacy protection.
