Abstract
An important source of nonsampling errors in sample surveys is "Not-at-Home's" for which Politz-Simmons technique [PST] is used to estimate parameters using data on first call itself, thus avoiding "call-backs," by asking respondents during the interview a question about their availability at home (or, otherwise) at the same time during the preceding five "week nights." In the present day context of ever-changing socioeconomic scenario of the society, it is to be noted that this question itself has become highly sensitive for the respondents who thereby may evade to answer this question truthfully. We have applied Warner's randomized response technique (RRT) in this situation and developed a nontrivial randomized response PST.
