AN IMPROVED NEW ADDITIVE MODEL

In this paper, an improved new additive model has been proposed. The proposed model is found to be more efficient than the randomized response models studied by Gjestvang and Singh (2009) and Singh (2010). The relative efficiency of the proposed model has been studied with respect to the Gjestvang and Singh (2009) and Singh (2010) model. It is found that the envisaged model is superior to those additive models earlier considered by Gjestvang and Singh (2009) and Singh (2010) under certain realistic conditions. Numerical illustrations are also given in support of the present study.
