METHODS AND APPARATUS TO CORRECT FOR DETERIORATION OF A DEMOGRAPHIC MODEL TO ASSOCIATE DEMOGRAPHIC INFORMATION WITH MEDIA IMPRESSION INFORMATION

摘要

Methods and apparatus to correct for deterioration of a demographic model to associate demographic information with media impression information are disclosed. An example method includes estimating first and second ages of audience members based on demographic information; estimating a third age of an audience member who is not included in the audience members; applying a window function to the second ages to determine a distribution of ages based on the third age; multiplying window values by the first ages to determine corrected first age components; dividing a total of the corrected first age components by a sum of the window values to determine an estimated age of the audience member at a first time; and determining the corrected age of the audience member at a second time based on the estimated age of the audience member at the first time and a time difference between the first and second times.
