Abstract
In this chapter, the authors investigate the performance of the Gjestvang and Singh randomized response model for estimating the mean of a sensitive variable using ranked set sampling along the lines of Bouza. The proposed estimator is found to be unbiased, and a variance expression is derived. Then a simulation study is carried out to judge the magnitude of relative efficiency in various situations. At the end, the proposed model is assessed based on real secondary data applications. A set of SAS codes is also included.
