Modelación Bayesiana de una variable ordinal aleatorizada

Abstract

Sensitive issues refer to criminal actions or behaviors not accepted by society. Examples of these issues are abuse in drug use, sexual preferences, sexual diseases, infidelity, illegal abortions, tax evasion, fraud, corruption, plagiarism in examinations, etc. In a survey on sensitive issues, it is common for the respondent to refuse to answer the question or answer in an untruthful way. This way of responding causes inferences to be incorrect due to the presence of non-response bias or bias to untruthful responses. Warner (1965) was the first to propose a randomized response method that protects the privacy of the respondent and decreases the non-response bias
