摘要
In the present paper, we propose an efficient scrambled estimator of population mean of quantitative sensitive study variable, using general linear transformation of nonsensitive auxiliary variable. Efficiency comparisons with the existing estimators have been carried out both theoretically and numerically. It has been found that our optimal scrambled estimator is always more efficient than most of the existing scrambled estimators and also it is more efficient than few other scrambled estimators under some conditions.
