randomized_response_designer.Rd
Produces a (forced) randomized response design that measures the share of individuals with a given trait prevalence_trait
in a population of size N
. Probability of forced response ("Yes") is given by prob_forced_yes
, and rate at which individuals with trait lie is given by withholding_rate
.
randomized_response_designer( N = 1000, prob_forced_yes = 0.6, prevalence_rate = 0.1, withholding_rate = 0.5, args_to_fix = NULL )
N | An integer. Size of sample. |
---|---|
prob_forced_yes | A number in [0,1]. Probability of a forced yes. |
prevalence_rate | A number in [0,1]. Probability that individual has the sensitive trait. |
withholding_rate | A number in [0,1]. Probability that an individual with the sensitive trait hides it. |
args_to_fix | A character vector. Names of arguments to be args_to_fix in design. |
A randomized response design.
randomized_response_designer
employs a specific variation of randomized response designs in which respondents are required to report a args_to_fix answer to the sensitive question with a given probability (see Blair, Imai, and Zhou (2015) for alternative applications and estimation strategies).
