Additive and Subtractive Scrambling in Optional Randomized Response Modeling

Abstract

This article considers unbiased estimation of mean, variance and sensitivity level of a sensitive variable via scrambled response modeling. In particular, we focus on estimation of the mean. The idea of using additive and subtractive scrambling has been suggested under a recent scrambled response model. Whether it is estimation of mean, variance or sensitivity level, the proposed scheme of estimation is shown relatively more efficient than that recent model. As far as the estimation of mean is concerned, the proposed estimators perform relatively better than the estimators based on recent additive scrambling models. Relative efficiency comparisons are also made in order to highlight the performance of proposed estimators under suggested scrambling technique.

Network interactions with functional roles and evolutionary relationships for BURP domain-containing proteins in chickpea and model species

“…In general, the sequence conforms to CHXCHX23-27CHX23-26CHX8W, where X denotes any amino acid residue [6]. Multiple experimental studies provide substantial evidence supporting the presence of BURP domain responsible for multidimensional actions performed by its representative members, indicating that these proteins operate in a synchronized and collaborative manner [7,8,9].This domain is named after four typical members -BNM2, USP, RD22, and PG1β and is a conserved C-terminal protein domain exclusively present in plants, indicating towards its plantspecific functions [10,11]. Here, B represents BNM2 which is specifically expressed during microspore embryogenesis in oilseed rape [12].…”

Effect of aloe vera juice on type 2 diabetes mellitus among Indian patients

“…On the other hand, diabetes and pre diabetes must be treated and prevented in order to enhance wellbeing and lower expenses [7]. As an alternative therapy, food based therapy is advised since it is more maintainable and less prone to have adverse effects [8]. The Liliaceae family, which comprises over 200 species worldwide, includes the succulent plant Aloe.…”

Partial Randomized Response Model for Simultaneous Estimation of Means of Two Sensitive Variables

“…Greenberg et al [2] extended the Warner's idea for mean estimation of quantitative sensitive variables. Some other developments for the estimation of mean are due to Eichhorn and Hayre [3]; Bar-Lev et al [4]; Gupta et al [5]; Gupta et al [6] Hussain et al [7]; Singh et al [8]; Singh and Suman [9]; Lee and Hong [10]; Narjis and Shabbir [11,12]; and Muneer et al [13].…”
