  • Patent number: 11991404
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine synthetic total audience ratings are disclosed. Disclosed example apparatus are to access census data including census viewing statements associated with media content presented by census devices, access panel data including panelist viewing statements associated with media content presented by panel devices, the panel data including weights to represent numbers of individuals to be represented by corresponding panelists, determine scores representing similarities between ones of a first group of census devices determined to having matching panel devices in the panel data and ones of a second group of census devices determined to be unmatched in the panel data, and assign the census devices to the panel devices based on the scores and the weights.

  • Patent number: 11985368
    Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to determine synthetic total audience ratings are disclosed. Disclosed example apparatus are to access census data including census viewing statements associated with media content presented by census devices, access panel data including panelist viewing statements associated with media content presented by panel devices, the panel data including weights to represent numbers of individuals to be represented by corresponding panelists, divide the weights for respective ones of the panelists into respective sets of split weights, and assign the census viewing statements to at least subsets of the sets of split weights to determine the audience ratings for the population, the assignment of the census viewing statements to the at least subsets of the sets of split weights based on a reach constraint.

  • Patent number: 9900654
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to measure a cross device audience by determining that a first panelist of a first panel is associated with a first device and a second non-paneled device, requesting participation of the first panelist in a second panel associated with the second non-paneled device, and when the first panelist is to participate in the second panel, associating, by executing an instruction with a processor, first panel data corresponding to usage of the first device in the first panel with second panel data corresponding to usage of the second non-paneled device in the second panel to generate a cross device panelist profile for the first panelist.

  • Patent number: 9363558
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are disclosed to generate a cross device panel by determining that a first panelist associated with a first panel data and a first device is also associated with a non-paneled device. Example methods and apparatus disclosed herein match, via a processor, a second panelist associated with second panel data to the first panelist based on (1) the second panelist having demographics matching the first panelist and (2) the second panelist being associated with a second device corresponding to the non-paneled device of the first panelist, and generate a cross device panelist profile for the first panelist, the cross device panelist profile comprising at least some of the first panel data and at least a portion of the second panel data.
