  • Publication number: 20120047013
    Abstract: A system, method, apparatus, and processor readable storage media are described for real-time computation of statistics between audiences including, but not limited to, correlations, comparative metrics, and/or other statistical analysis for the audiences. Embodiments enable a user to specify a query that defines a specific audience for analysis in real-time. A past time period may be determined that indicates the amount of historical data that is to be analyzed to generate the statistical comparisons and/or correlations. Employing the user-specified query, statistical comparisons and/or correlation may be provided, based on an analysis of retrieved historical audience data for the time period. Embodiments may also enable a user to generate new statistics in real-time through modification of the audience in one or more iterations. Embodiments may also enable a user to filter, sort, and search through audiences by setting desired statistical boundaries for the resulting audience set.

  • Publication number: 20120047005
    Abstract: A system, method, apparatus and processor readable media are described for real-time prediction of an advertising audience volume through analysis of historical audience data, and tuning of the predicted audience volume. Embodiments enable a user to specify a query for audience volume prediction. Such a query may be a Boolean combination of various audience categories. A time range may be determined that indicates the amount of historical data that is to be analyzed to make the audience volume prediction in real time. Employing the user-specified query, an audience volume prediction may be provided for a future time period, based on an analysis of retrieved historical audience data for the time range. Embodiments may also enable a user to tune the predicted audience volume through modification of the query through one or more iterations.
