Cramer-Rao Lower Bound of Variance in Randomized Response Sampling

Singh, Sarjinder; Sedory, Stephen A. - In: Sociological Methods & Research 40 (2011) 3, pp. 536-546

In this note, the Cramer-Rao lower bound of variance by using the two decks of cards in randomized response sampling has been developed. The lower bound of variance has been compared with the recent estimator proposed by Odumade and Singh at equal protection of respondents. A real practical...

Estimating at least seven measures of qualitative variables from a single sample using randomized response technique

Lee, Cheon-Sig; Sedory, Stephen A.; Singh, Sarjinder - In: Statistics & Probability Letters 83 (2013) 1, pp. 399-409

In this paper, like a magician can show several birds flying out of an empty basket, we show that at least seven parameters of interest to a social scientist can be estimated from a single sample and one response from each respondent. A real survey data application is given.

Thermal performance of atria: An overview of natural ventilation effective designs

Moosavi, Leila; Mahyuddin, Norhayati; Ab Ghafar, Norafida; … - In: Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews 34 (2014) C, pp. 654-670

Despite significant impacts of natural ventilation on atria, indoor thermal conditions and decreasing energy usage load, there is lack of knowledge about how various design parameters influence atria thermal conditions. The complexity of natural ventilation design of atria and inadequate...

Change impact analysis on the life cycle carbon emissions of energy systems – The nuclear example

Nian, Victor - In: Applied Energy 143 (2015) C, pp. 437-450

The life cycle carbon emission factor (measured by t-CO2/GWh) of nuclear power is much lower than those of fossil fueled power generation technologies. However, the fact of nuclear energy being a low carbon power source comes with many assumptions. These assumptions range from system and process...

A thermal resistance-based method for the optimal design of central variable water/air volume chiller systems

Chen, Qun; Wang, Yi-Fei; Xu, Yun-Chao - In: Applied Energy 139 (2015) C, pp. 119-130

Varying water/air volume (VWV/VAV) favors the performance improvement of central chiller systems. However, due to the lack of an intrinsic relation connecting these design parameters to the requirements, both the operating parameters of variable speed pumps/fans (VSP/VSF) and the structural...

Citizenship Question Effects on Household Survey Response

Brown, J. David; Heggeness, Misty L. - 2024

Several small-sample studies have predicted that a citizenship question in the 2020 Census would cause a large drop in self-response rates. In contrast, minimal effects were found in Poehler et al.'s (2020) analysis of the 2019 Census Test randomized controlled trial (RCT). We reconcile these...

Are Factorial Survey Experiments Prone to Survey Mode Effects?

Auspurg, Katrin; Hinz, Thomas; Walzenbach, Sandra - In: Experimental Methods in Survey Research. Techniques …, (pp. 371-392). 2019

Drawing on data from a nation-wide survey on the fairness of earnings, this piece of work examines the susceptibility of factorial survey experiments to mode effects. It uses multilevel models to compare the results from a completely self-administered questionnaire to those of an experimental...
