摘要
Sousa et al. (2010) and Gupta et al. (2012) have recently introduced ratio and regression estimators for the mean of a sensitive variable which perform better than the ordinary mean estimator based on a Randomized Response Technique (RRT). In the present study we extend these estimators to the stratified sampling setting. The performance of the proposed estimators is compared to the exiting estimators both theoretically and through a simulation study. We also apply the proposed estimators to some real data.
