US Patent:

20230107456, Apr 6, 2023

Filed:

Oct 6, 2022

Appl. No.:

17/961171

Inventors:

- New York NY, US
Jonathon Wells - Oldsmar FL, US
Stephen S. Bell - McHenry IL, US
Behiye Karayaka - Istanbul, TR

International Classification:

G06Q 30/0204
G06N 7/01

Abstract:

Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to implement calibration of convenience panel data to reduce behavioral bias are disclosed. Disclosed example apparatus include a distribution estimator to determine a first behavioral distribution for first convenience panel data associated with a first market and a measurement period, determine a second behavioral distribution for second convenience panel data associated with a second market and the measurement period, and determine a third behavioral distribution for probabilistic panel data associated with the second market and the measurement period. Disclosed example apparatus also include a distribution calibrator to calibrate the first behavioral distribution determined for the first convenience panel data associated with the first market based on (i) the second behavioral distribution determined for the second convenience panel data associated with the second market and (ii) the third behavioral distribution determined for the probabilistic panel data associated with the second market.

International Classification:

H04L 29/08

US Classification:

709224

Abstract:

Methods and apparatus to create a panel of media device users are disclosed. An example method includes identifying a master frame of media devices that have executed an instrumented application. A media device is selected from the master frame. A first instrumented application on the selected media device is instructed to display a recruitment interface to a user associated with the selected media device requesting the user to join the panel.
