Adegoke * Deartet of Statistics, Federal Uiversity of Tecology Akure, P.M.B. 704, igeria. * E-ail of te corresodig autor: urudee.adegoke@yaoo.co Tis aer resets a odificatio of Ki ad arde s (004) Stratified arer s Radoized Resose Tecique (SRRT) ad Ki ad Ela s (007) Stratified Urelated Questio Radoized Resose Tecique wit kow distributio (SURRT) usig otial allocatio. Our odels furter reduce te o-resose bias by itroducig te cocet of sub-sales of o-resodet develoed by Hase ad Hurwitz (946) to te above etioed odels. I tis aer we erfor a eirical ractice of our odel ad we also erfor te eirical coariso of our odels wit bot Ki ad arde (004) ad Ki ad Ela (007) odels. e discovered a ew ote i te eirical coarative study of our odels. Keywords: Close suervisio, Sesitive beavior, o-resodet, Sub-sale, Radoized resose teciques.. Itroductio I oter to reduce biasess of resodet i surveys, ost esecially i surveys tat te questios are so tat igt cause te resodet ot to eve aswer te questios or falsely aswer te questios; i tis regard we aeal to Radoized Resose Teciques. Radoized Resose Teciques is te etod of rotectig te resodet s idetity so as to collect reliable iforatio o caracteristics. Sesitive caracteristics ivolve; rae, abortio, Sexually Trasitted Ifectio/HIV etc. Radoized Resose Teciques el to reduce o-salig error; o-salig error ivolves resose bias ad o-resose bias arer (965). Resose bias is we te resodet gives a false aswer ad o-resose bias is we te resodet refuses to aswer te questio. Radoized Resose Tecique was itroduced by arer (965) to estiate te roortio of te eole i a give oulatio wo is ivolve i a articular social or legal stigatized beavior. arer uses a radoized device wit kow robability to ecourage te resodet for trutful aswer suc tat te researcer does ot kow wic of te two questios e or se aswers. Greeberg et al. (969) roosed te urelated questio RR odel tat is a variatio of arer's (965) RR odel i wic te resodet is reseted wit oe questio ad oe urelated questio (wic is ot related to te stigatized beavior). Hog et al. (994) reseted a stratified radoized resose tecique usig roortioal allocatio. Ki ad arde (004) reseted Stratified arer s Radoized Resose Model (SRRT) usig a otial allocatio. Ki ad Ela (007) reseted te Stratified Urelated Questio Radoized Resose Model (SURRT) usig a otial allocatio. Tis aer develos a Modified Stratified Radoized Resose Model usig otial allocatio. e develoed for arer (965) ad for Greeberg et al. (969). As stated earlier tat Radoized Resose Teciques els to reduce resose ad o-resose bias. Our odel furter reduces te o-resose bias by itroducig te cocet of sub-sales of o-resodet develoed by Hase ad Hurwitz (946). A coarative study of our two odels was doe as well so as to deterie te ost efficiet. Radoized Resose Teciques arer (965) gave a geius idea by usig radoized device to ecourage trutful aswer fro te resodet wit resect to a beavior. Te radoizig device, suc as a siig arrow, dice or cois is used to select oe of te two questios; suc as, I ave raed before (Preseted wit robability P) I ave ot raed before (Preseted wit robability -P) Te resodets ave te otios or o reseted to i or er. Te iterviewer does ot kow wic questio ay resodet as aswered but kows te robability P ad -P wit wic te two stateets are reseted. Here, wit a rado sale of resodets, te iterviewer records a bioial estiate 9

Tey exaied te sae desig were te distributio of te o- questio is kow i advace. Te urelated questio desig wit a kow distributio is a silified versio of te origial urelated questio desig. To illustrate te atter of te desig; Questio : Do you ave ore ta oe girlfried? Questio : Did you watc te 9.00 cartoo yesterday?
