This study aims to compare the traditional calibration estimator with the model-assisted calibration estimator using ridge regression and LASSO regression. As the response rate in the probability sample decreases rapidly, surveys using non-probability samples that can easily collect data are increasing. However, since there is a risk of bias when using a non-probability sample, it is necessary to select necessary auxiliary variables and use them to calibrate them. This study selected a variable that is highly correlated with the dependent variable through ridge regression and LASSO regression, included it in the model, obtained the estimator through the calibration process, and analyzed which method is effective by considering the bias and mean square error of each of them. For this, the Community Health Survey data of the Korea Disease Control and Prevention Agency were used. As a result of the analysis, the estimation efficiency of the model-assisted calibration method using ridge regression and LASSO regression was better than the traditional calibration method, and the estimation efficiency of ridge regression and LASSO regression was similar.
