  • Publication number: 20160019580
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to determine impression corresponding to market segments are disclosed. An example method includes determining a number of impressions that occurred on mobile devices and that are attributable to a first demographic group, where the number of impressions are based on attributions of the impressions to the first demographic group. The example method also includes determining whether a size of a first audience that corresponds to the first demographic group satisfies a threshold, where the first audience includes panelists in an audience measurement panel. The example method further includes determining whether a size of a second audience satisfies the threshold when the size of the first audience does not satisfy the threshold, where the second audience includes panelists in the audience measurement panel that correspond to a second demographic group and the first audience is a subset of the second audience.

  • Publication number: 20150262207
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to compensate impression data for misattribution and non-coverage by a database proprietor are disclosed. An example method includes obtaining a count of media impressions occurring on a first type of computing device, a first portion of the media impressions corresponding to persons for whom demographic information is recognizable by a database proprietor and a second portion of the media impressions corresponding to persons for whom demographic information is unavailable to the database proprietor; and determining the demographic information for the second portion of the media impressions based on a first probability that media corresponding to the media impressions is accessed on the first type of computing device and based on a second probability that media is accessed on a second type of device.

  • Publication number: 20150262201
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generating electronic mobile measurement census data are disclosed. Example disclosed methods involve, when a panelist associated with a client device is determined to be an audience member of the media on the client device, associating demographic information of the panelist with a logged impression associated with the media. The disclosed methods also include when the panelist associated with the client device is determined not to be the audience member of the media at the client device, determining probability scores for respective household members residing in a household with the panelist, the probability scores indicative of probabilities that corresponding ones of the household members are the audience member of the media at the client device, and associating demographic information of one of the household members that has a highest probability score with the logged impression associated with the media.

  • Patent number: 9118542
    Abstract: Examples to determine media impressions are disclosed. An example method includes detecting a cookie identifier established by a database proprietor at a computing device, determining an impression of media, wherein the impression occurs after the cookie identifier is established, determining a first panelist identifier associated with the impression based on the cookie identifier, determining a second panelist identifier associated with the impression based on determination of a user identity by a panelist meter associated with the computing device, and storing an adjustment factor determined by comparing the first panelist identifier and the second panelist identifier.

  • Publication number: 20150095138
    Abstract: A disclosed example method to determine audience duplication in cross-media campaigns involves determining a first duplicated audience reach for a demographic group between a total television audience and an internet publisher audience. The total television audience is representative of audience members across a plurality of television networks. The internet publisher audience is representative of audience members of one of a plurality of internet publishers. The example method involves determining a second duplicated audience reach between the total television audience and the internet publisher audience for a media campaign based on the first duplicated audience reach. The example method involves determining a third duplicated audience reach between a television network audience and the internet publisher audience for the media campaign based on the second duplicated audience reach.

  • Publication number: 20140358676
    Abstract: Examples to determine media impressions are disclosed. An example method includes determining an exposure of first media, wherein the exposure occurs after a cookie identifier is received at a computing device, wherein the cookie identifier is received from a database proprietor, determining a first panelist identifier associated with the exposure based on the cookie identifier, determining a second panelist identifier associated with the exposure based on a determination of a user identity by a panelist meter associated with the computing device, determining an adjustment factor by comparing the first panelist identifier and the second panelist identifier, determining a number of impressions of second media from data logged by the database proprietor, the data logged in response to requests transmitted to the database proprietor in response to clients accessing the second media, and applying the adjustment factor to the number of impressions to determine an adjusted number of impressions.
