Patent number: 11991404Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignee: The Nielsen Company (US), LLCInventors: Chiara Frisardi, Claudio Meraviglia, Stefano Pedretti, Fabio Filatrella, Davide Rindori, Stefano Ghiotto, Valerio Maretti, Gianmarco Ria, Marco Abrate, Fabio Scantamburlo, Gianluca Costante, Michela Papandrea, Tiziano Leidi, Andrea Quattrini, Davide Nasi

Patent number: 11985368Abstract: 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.Type: GrantFiled: June 30, 2022Date of Patent: May 14, 2024Assignee: The Nielsen Company (US), LLCInventors: Chiara Frisardi, Claudio Meraviglia, Stefano Pedretti, Fabio Filatrella, Davide Rindori, Stefano Ghiotto, Valerio Maretti, Gianmarco Ria, Marco Abrate, Fabio Scantamburlo, Gianluca Costante, Michela Papandrea, Tiziano Leidi, Andrea Quattrini, Davide Nasi
