Abstract: An example embodiment disclosed herein is directed to an apparatus, comprising a communication interface configured to communicate over an associated network, and share of voice analysis logic operable to send and receive data via the communication interface. The share of voice analysis logic is operable to communicate with a device providing advertising coupled to the associated network. The share of voice analysis logic is operable to provide data representative of a targeted profile to the device providing advertising and to receive data representative of at least one advertisement from the device providing the advertising. The share of voice analysis logic is responsive to receiving the data representative of at least one advertisement to analyze the data representative of at least one advertisement to determine a share of voice for at least one advertiser.

Abstract: A system for the representation, editing, evaluation, and inference of graphical models is disclosed which can be used to construct and evaluate a graphical model or graphical network and to calculate inference values. An efficient method of updating graphical models is demonstrated, and provides the basis for an improved system for manipulation and evaluation of probabilistic models. The graphical network editor is useful in the construction of graphical modes such as Bayesian Networks. The graphical network and network graphical user interface (GUI) are used in conjunction with each other to model a system wherein failure probabilities and the current state of components are taken into account to monitor the health and progress of a system for an engineer or engineering software to evaluate and monitor.
