- Abstract
In this article, we proposed an efficient estimator for estimating population proportion of individuals possessing sensitive attribute in a finite dichotomous population. We used the Hermite distribution to randomize the responses in the randomization design of Kuk [1]. The relative efficiency results depicted that the proposed technique is relatively better than those of Kuk [1], Singh and Grewal [2] and Hussain et al. [3] and Hussain et al. [4].
