A Simple Way to Improve Additive Scrambling Response Models
Abstract
This article considers unbiased estimation of mean, variance and sensitivity level of a sensitive variable via scrambled response modeling. The idea of using additive and subtractive scrambling, simultaneously, has been applied under Huang (2010) scrambled response model. Relative efficiency comparisons are also made in order to highlight the performance of proposed scrambling technique. Whether it is estimation of mean, variance or sensitivity level, the proposal has been shown to be relatively more efficient than Huang (2010), Gupta et al. (2010) and Mehta et al. (2012) procedures.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
