Abstract
This paper provide a profound study on optimum allocation of two stage multivariate stratified Warner’s randomized response (RR) model with linear and non linear cost function. The multi-objective problem is formulated as a Geometric Programming Problem (GPP). The fuzzy programming approach is adopted to solve the formulated problem. A numerical example is given to illustrate the computational details of the suggested method.
