Abstract:	Our goal is to find the best estimator for the eligibility rate of the samples whose eligibility statuses are unknown. In this paper, we focus on evaluating the survival analysis method proposed by Brick, Montaquila, and Scheuren (2000, 2002) in comparison to the method suggested by the Council of American Survey Research Organizations (CASRO) in 1982. The survival-analysis-based method is relatively new, and its behavior has not been completely understood yet, while the CASRO method has become the survey research industry's standard method. In our previous work, we suggested the survival-analysis-based method might have a smaller bias than the CASRO method. But, in practice, a size of variance is crucial. We will compare the two methods with respect to the variance.
