Abstract: In this paper, an alternative randomized response procedure is given that allows us to estimate the population proportion in addition to the probability of providing a truthful answer. It overcomes a difficulty associated with traditional randomized response techniques. Properties of the proposed estimators as well as sample size allocations are studied. In addition, an efficiency comparison is carried out to investigate the performance of the proposed technique.
