  • Patent number: 12143670
    Abstract: An example apparatus includes a distance matrix generator to determine a number of remapping combinations corresponding to a first and a second household demographic model, generate (a) a first age-based household demographic model and a second age-based household demographic model and (b) a third age-based household demographic model and a fourth age-based household demographic model, generate a first distance matrix corresponding to the first and the third age-based household demographic model, and generate a second distance matrix corresponding to the second and the fourth age-based household demographic model, a distance matrix identifier to determine a first and a second reassignment distance and a person identification assigner to assign a person identification number of a first person corresponding to the first household to a second person corresponding to the second household based on the first distance matrix or the second distance matrix.

  • Publication number: 20230394510
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to determine unified entity weights for audience measurement. Example apparatus disclosed herein are to obtain entity data associated with an entity over a period of time including a plurality of time segments, the entity data including an entity identifier, adaptable weights of the entity associated respectively with the time segments in the period of time, and panel statuses of the entity that correspond to respective ones of the time segments in the period of time, and average the adaptable weights based in the panel statuses to determine a unified weight of the entity for the period of time.

  • Publication number: 20230396844
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to determine an additive reach adjustment factor for audience measurement are disclosed. An example apparatus for additive reach adjustment includes at least one memory, machine readable instructions, and processor circuitry to execute the machine readable instructions to identify a first probability, the first probability associated with a population tuning to a marketing campaign, the tuning including missing data, identify a second probability, the second probability associated with the population not tuning to the marketing campaign or the tuning including missing data, determine an additive reach adjustment based on a compound probability and a no-tuning probability, the compound probability and the no-tuning probability determined using the first probability and the second probability, and credit a population exposed to the marketing campaign to include missing impressions based on the additive reach adjustment.

  • Patent number: 11089366
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to reduce a remapping error. An example apparatus includes a distance matrix generator to generate a distance matrix corresponding to a first household demographic model and a second household demographic model. The example apparatus also includes a distance matrix identifier to determine a reassignment distance of the distance matrix. The example apparatus also includes a person identification assigner to, in response to the reassignment distance being less than a reassignment threshold, assign a person identification number of a first person of the first household to a second person of the second household based on the distance matrix.
