Abstract

This paper proposed alternative beta estimators of the population proportion of a sensitive attribute when life data were obtained through the administration of survey questionnaires on abortion of some matured women. The results showed that the proposed alternative beta estimators were more efficient in capturing responses from respondents than the simple beta estimator proposed by Winkler and Franklin for relatively small, medium as well as large sample sizes respectively.
