Synopsis

Randomized response is a data collection strategy specifically designed for surveys of a sensitive nature. By establishing a probabilistic connection between question and answer, randomized response and related methods protect respondents who are asked to disclose personal information. Covering a half century of theoretical and applied research, the Second Edition of James Alan Fox’s Randomized Response and Related Methods significantly updates and expands what was, at the time, the first comprehensive and practical guide to randomized response.
