Abstract
Reserve Bank of India (RBI). It is theorised that the respondent’s answers are exaggerated by extreme response bias. Latent
class analysis has been hailed as a promising technique for studying measurement errors in surveys, because the model
produces estimates of the error rates associated with a given question of the questionnaire. I have identified a model with
optimum performance and hence categorize the objective as well as reliable classifiers or otherwise.
