Under a general randomized response model, the optimal estimator in this class is derived. Design‐based properties of proposed estimators are obtained. A simulation study reflects the potential gains from the use of the proposed estimators instead of the customary estimators.}, organization = {Ministerio de Educación y Ciencia}, organization = {Consejería de Economía, Innovación, Ciencia y Empleo}, keywords = {Auxiliary information}, keywords = {randomized response technique}, keywords = {Sampling theory}, keywords = {Sample surveys}, title = {An improved class of estimators in RR surveys}, doi = {https://doi.org/10.1002/mma.4256}, author = {Rueda García, María Del Mar and Cobo Rodríguez, Beatriz and Arcos Cebrián, Antonio}, }
