Computes the randomized response estimation, its variance estimation and its confidence interval through the Mangat model (Mangat, 1992) when the proportion of people bearing the innocuous attribute is unknown. The function can also return the transformed variable. The Mangat-UB model can be seen in Chaudhuri (2011, page 53).

In Mangat's extended scheme, three boxes containing cards are presented to the sampled person, labelled i. The first box contains cards marked "True" and "RR" in proportions t and 1-t, the second one contains A and B-marked cards in proportions p_1 and (1-p_1),(0<p_1<1) and the third box contains A and B-marked cards in proportions p_2 and 1-p_2,(0<p_2<1),p_1\neq p_2. The subject is requested to draw a card from the first box. The sample respondent i is then instructed to tell the truth, using "the first box and if necessary also the second box" and next, independently, to give a second truthful response also using "the first box and if necessary, the third box." Let I_i represent the first response and J_i the second response for respondent i.
The transformed variable is r_i=\frac{(1-p_2)I_i-(1-p_1)J_i}{p_1-p_2} and the estimated variance is \widehat{V}_R(r_i)=r_i(r_i-1).
Point and confidence estimates of the sensitive characteristics using the Mangat-UB model. The transformed variable is also reported, if required.
