Confidence Elicitation And Anchoring In The Respondent-Generated Intervals (Rgi) Protocol, Liping Chu, S. James Press, Judith M. Tanur
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
The Respondent-Generated Intervals protocol (RGI) has been used to have respondents recall the answer to a factual question by giving not only a point estimate but also bounds within which they feel it is almost certain that the true value of the quantity being reported upon falls. The RGI protocol is elaborated in this article with the goal of improving the accuracy of the estimators by introducing cueing mechanisms to direct confident (and thus presumably accurate) respondents to give shorter intervals and less confident (and thus presumably less accurate) respondents to give longer ones.

Respondent-Generated Intervals (Rgi) For Recall In Sample Surveys, S. James Press
Journal of Modern Applied Statistical Methods
Respondents are asked for both a basic response to a recall-type question, their usage quantity, and are asked to provide lower and upper bounds for the (Respondent-Generated) interval in which their true values might possibly lie. A Bayesian hierarchical model for estimating the population mean and its variance is presented.. Telephone: (989) 774-
