Abstract: Methods and apparatus to generate audience metrics using third-party privacy-protected cloud environments. In some examples, an apparatus comprising a model generator to generate an individualization model based on truth data indicating first true users exposed to media via first panelist client devices, a model analyzer to produce user probabilities for second panelist client devices based on the individualization model, the user probabilities indicating likelihoods of second true users being exposed to media via the second panelist client devices, a data modifier to: select a user probability from the user probabilities based on an impression, the impression associated with at least one feature and a selected device from the second panelist client devices, the user probability associated with the at least one feature and the selected device, the user probability indicating a likelihood of a set of second true users being exposed to media corresponding to the impression via the selected device, and assign the impression to the set of second true users.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for multi-account adjustment in third-party privacy-protected cloud environments are disclosed herein. A disclosed example apparatus includes memory and processor circuitry to execute computer readable instructions to select a demographic characteristic, the demographic characteristic defining a segment of panelists, select a type of client device, determine a number of the panelists associated with the demographic characteristic and the client device, and define a multi-account adjustment factor for the demographic characteristic and the client device, the factor based on a ratio of a number of panelists to a number of user accounts, the user accounts associated with the determined number of panelists.

Abstract: An example apparatus disclosed herein includes a data input interface to access different sets of initial adjustment factors, the initial adjustment factors generated to correct at least one of misattribution or non-coverage of media impressions logged by a database proprietor, a grouping controller to identify a first set of the initial adjustment factors as a set of donor adjustment factors based on (a) first audience members associated with the set of donor adjustment factors satisfying a first threshold and (b) first impressions associated with the first audience members satisfying a second threshold, and identify a second set of the initial adjustment factors as a set of recipient adjustment factors, and an imputation factor generator to generate imputation factors to correct ones of the recipient adjustment factors based on ones of the donor adjustment factors.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to adjust demographic information of user accounts to reflect primary users of the user accounts. An apparatus comprising: memory; and processor circuitry to execute instructions that causes the processor circuitry to at least: determine a first total score for a first panelist associated with a panelist user account based on at least one of a first impression score, a first age score, or a first gender score; determine a second total score for a second panelist associated with the panelist user account based on at least one of a second impression score, a second age score, or a second gender score; and in response to determining that the first total score satisfies a threshold, store demographics of the first panelist for the panelist user account.
