Abstract:
Example methods, apparatus, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to estimate population reach. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to determine first multipliers corresponding to a panelist impression count and panelist audience size totals of at least one of a first margin of media, a second margin of the media, or a union of the first margin and the second margin, the first margin, the second margin, and the union included in a tree association; concurrently determine second multipliers using the tree association and the first multipliers; determine third multipliers corresponding to a total audience size exposed to the media at at least one of the first margin, the second margin, or the union based on the tree association using database proprietor impression totals; and determine, based on the third multipliers, an estimate for the population reach of the media for at least one of the first margin, the second margin, or the union.
