Abstract: Example methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to estimate de-duplicated unknown total audience sizes based on partial information of known audiences. An example apparatus includes an association controller to generate a tree structure association corresponding to a union of first and second margins of time; and one or more commercial solvers to: perform parallel computations on a processor to determine multipliers by solving equations corresponding to the tree structure association, the multipliers corresponding to the first total audience size for the union, the second total audience size for the first margin, and the third total audience size for the second margin; and determine an estimate for the third total audience size for the second margin of time based on the multipliers.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus to estimate audience sizes using deduplication based on binomial sketch data are disclosed. An apparatus to estimate an audience size for media based on binomial sketch data includes a coefficient analyzer to determine coefficient values of a polynomial based on variances, a covariance, and cardinalities corresponding to first binomial sketch data from a first database and second binomial sketch data from a second database.
