Randomized Response Analysis in Mplus
Hox, Joop; Lensvelt-Mulders, Gerty
Structural Equation Modeling, v11 n4 p615-620 Oct 2004
This article describes a technique to analyze randomized response data using available structural equation modeling (SEM) software. The randomized response technique was developed to obtain estimates that are more valid when studying sensitive topics. The basic feature of all randomized response methods is that the data are deliberately contaminated with error. This makes it difficult to relate randomized responses to explanatory variables. In this tutorial, we present an approach to this problem, in which the analysis of randomized response data is viewed as a latent class problem, with different latent classes for the random and the truthful responses. To illustrate this technique, an example is presented using the program Mplus.
