Sex, Lies and Self-Reported Counts: General Birth-Death Processes to Model Self-Reported Count of Sexual Behavior Surveys often ask respondents to report non-negative counts, but respondents may misremember or round to a nearby multiple of 5 or 10. The error inherent in this heaping can bias estimation. To avoid bias, we propose a novel reporting distribution arising from a general birth-death process whose underlying parameters are readily interpretable as rates of misremembering and rounding. The process accommodates a variety of heaping grids and allows for quasi-heaping to values nearly... Read more about HSPHBiostat: Marc Suchard
