Abstract:
In this paper, we discuss the use of auxiliary information to estimate the population mean of a sensitive variable when data are perturbed by means of three scrambled response devices, namely the additive, the multiplicative and the mixed model. Emphasis is given to the calibration approach, and the behavior of different estimators is investigated through simulated and real data. It is shown that the use of auxiliary information can considerably improve the efficiency of the estimates without jeopardizing respondent privacy.
