Optimization of the Answering Method with Probability Conversion

The growth of the Internet has facilitated data collection on a large scale. User opinions and behavior are private information and need to be collected using a method that protects their confidentiality. In this paper, we develop a method of collecting information that employs probability conversion. We make clear the relations among the answer functions´ variance, the number of respondents, confidence and accuracy. We also describe the answer functions that maximize anonymity.
