    摘要: Example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to estimate population reach. An example apparatus includes an association controller to generate a tree association corresponding to a union of a first margin of media and a second margin of the media; and one or more commercial solvers to determine first multipliers by solving first equations corresponding to panelist impressions and panelist audience totals, the second margin, or the union; perform first parallel computations with a processor to determine second multipliers to solve second equations corresponding to the tree association using the first multipliers; discard the first multipliers; perform second parallel computations to determine third multipliers by solving third equations corresponding to the tree association using database proprietor impression totals; and determine an estimate for a population reach of the media for at least one of the first margin, the second margin, or the union based on the third multipliers.

    摘要: Methods and apparatus to adjust media impressions based on media impression notification loss rates in network communications are disclosed. An example method includes determining a first network media impression adjustment factor based on a quantity of lost test media impression notifications for a first network in a geographic region; determining an adjusted quantity of first network user-accessed media impression notifications for the first network by applying the first network media impression adjustment factor to a quantity of successfully received user-accessed media impression notifications to generate a product and weighting the product based on a market share of first subscribers corresponding to the first network in the geographic region; and storing the weighted adjusted quantity of the user-accessed media impression notifications in association with a media identifier to credit corresponding media with a quantity of media accesses corresponding to the weighted adjusted quantity of the user-accessed media impression notifications.
