Patent number: 11880861Abstract: A quantification system is configured for debiasing media creative efficiency. In some embodiments, the quantification system leverages a weighted generalized linear model (GLM) to determine the individual impacts of media creatives beyond network effects. To prepare input data for fitting the weighted GLM, the quantification system analyzes spot airing data, creates a specific data structure for storing observations (e.g., network-media creative combinations) that can be provided to the weight GLM as input, and computes additional input data points needed by the weighted GLM (e.g., network spend, media creative efficiency per network-media creative combination, etc.). The weighted GLM is then fitted to obtain coefficients representing the individual impacts of the media creatives. The quantification system utilizes the computed impacts to adjust the previously computed media creative efficiency for each media creative.Type: GrantFiled: March 22, 2022Date of Patent: January 23, 2024Assignee: TATARI, INC.Inventors: Michael D.
