    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generate corrected online audience measurement data are disclosed. An example apparatus includes programmable circuitry to at least receive, from a server of a database proprietor, a first audience count, a second audience count, and a third audience count, the first audience count indicative of a first number of impressions corresponding to first network communications, the second network communications from second computing devices, and the third audience count indicative of a third number of impressions corresponding to ones of the first network communications and ones of the second network communications attributed to the first media category and the second media category accessed by the first demographic group, the first audience count including a server-generated duplicated audience count generated by the server of the database proprietor, and calculate a deduplication factor for the first demographic group using the first, second, and third audience counts.

  • Publication number: 20230052274
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to determine unique audience size via clustered data. An example apparatus includes memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to at least one of execute or instantiate the machine readable instructions. The example processor circuitry is to form a first matrix identifying matching and non-matching instances of first values of respective demographics of an audience of media and second values of the respective demographics. Also, the processor circuitry is to normalize the first matrix to generate an account sharing adjustment matrix. Additionally, the processor circuitry is to apply the account sharing adjustment matrix to a vector of one or more counts of impressions of the media to correct for one or more members of the audience that share a user account registered with a database proprietor, the one or more counts of the impressions corresponding to the respective demographics.

  • Publication number: 20220277328
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to enable duplication correction for broadcast station audience measurement data are disclosed. An example apparatus to generate ratings information includes memory and processor circuitry to execute computer readable instructions to at least generate listening data based on collected audience measurement data, match demographic information included in the listening data to a demographic group, the demographic group included in a list of demographic mappings, determine a digital cumulative audience measurement based on contribution weights associated with a first set of panelists included in the listening data, determine a duplicate cumulative audience measurement based on contribution weights associated with a second set of panelists included in the listening data, and calculate an unduplication factor based on a ratio of the digital cumulative audience measurement and the duplicate cumulative audience measurement.

  • Publication number: 20210081975
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to correct attribution errors and coverage bias for digital audio ratings are disclosed. An example method includes applying, by executing an instruction with a processor, a duration-based count matrix to first demographic data associated with collected impressions of digital audio to determine second demographic data, the duration-based count matrix being based on a misattribution adjustment matrix, applying, by executing an instruction with the processor, a coverage adjustment vector to the second demographic data to determine third demographic data, applying, by executing an instruction with the processor, a scaling factor to the third demographic data to determine fourth demographic data, and generating, by executing an instruction with the processor, ratings data at a daypart-level using the fourth demographic data, the ratings data associated with the digital audio.

  • Patent number: 10380633
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generate corrected online audience measurement data are disclosed. An example method includes determining a corrected audience count of streaming media for a demographic group by: calculating a deduplication factor for a demographic group using a first audience count, a second audience count, and a third audience count; estimating a fourth audience count for the demographic group, the fourth audience count indicative of a number of people who accessed the streaming media; estimating a fifth audience count for the demographic group, the fifth audience count indicative of a number of people who accessed text content; and applying the deduplication factor to a sum of the fourth audience count and the fifth audience count to determine the corrected audience count. The example method also includes generating ratings information for the streaming media based on subtracting the corrected audience count from the first audience count.
