Randomized response techniques for complex survey designs

Response Adaptive Designs for Balancing Complex Objectives

Response adaptive designs for problems involving multiple conflicting goals are considered. The often referenced clinical trial dilemma of trying to determine the better of two independent Bernoulli populations while simultaneously increasing successful results during the trial is used. In evaluating the continuum of performance tradeoffs between the two objectives it is shown that only minor d...

Cryptographic Randomized Response Techniques

We develop cryptographically secure techniques to guarantee unconditional privacy for respondents to polls. Our constructions are efficient and practical, and are shown not to allow cheating respondents to affect the “tally” by more than their own vote — which will be given the exact same weight as that of other respondents. We demonstrate solutions to this problem based on both traditional cry...

Randomized response techniques

Collection of data on sensitive characteristics from human populations is not an easy task. For example sensitive questions: (a) Are you an Alawite? (b) Are you gay? (c) Have you ever molested a child? (d) Have you underreported your income on your tax return? (e) Do you smoke marijuana?, and (f) Have you ever cheated on an exam?, etc. These questions are not likely to be responded honestly by ...
