摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to rectify false set top box tuning data. Disclosed examples methods include identifying, by executing an instruction with a processor, in the return path data, first tuning data corresponding to a first group of set top boxes, the first group of set top boxes classified as associated with machine events, determining, by executing an instruction with a processor, a ratio between first tuning events in the return path data and second tuning events in the return path data, the first tuning events attributed to the first group of the set top boxes, the second tuning events attributed to a second group of the set top boxes classified at not associated with machine events, and in response to the ratio satisfying a threshold during a time interval, removing second tuning data associated with the time interval from the first tuning data.

摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for a window-metric rule for return path data (RPD). In some examples, a media monitor includes a count calculator to determine a first count of a number of devices in a first household that reported RPD for a first day. The example media monitor also includes an RPD selector to compare the first count to a current window-metric, the current window-metric associated with a window of time for the first household, the window of time associated with a content provider and having N number of days. The example RPD selector the RPD from the first household for the first day when the first count does not satisfy the current window-metric. The example media monitor also includes a report generator to generate a media exposure report using the RPD from the first household for the first day when the first count satisfies the current window-metric, independent of if the first household has heartbeat data available.

摘要: Example apparatus disclosed herein determine a first candidate duration of a session based on a first difference between a first time associated with a first start ping and a second time associated with a first end ping, the first start ping and the first end ping identified from a plurality of pings based on a first partitioning scheme. Disclosed example apparatus also determine a second candidate duration of the session based on a second difference between a third time associated with a second start ping and a fourth time associated with a second end ping, the second start ping and the second end ping identified from the plurality of pings based on a second partitioning scheme. Disclosed example apparatus further select at least one of the first candidate duration or the second candidate duration to represent the session based on a demographics model.

摘要: Example methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture to implement under-addressable advertisement measurement are disclosed. Example apparatus disclosed herein determine a tuned under-addressable advertisement duration and a total tuned advertisement duration for a first television broadcast at a first monitored site, the tuned under-addressable advertisement duration and the total tuned advertisement duration determined based on (i) return-path tuning data associated with the first monitored site, (ii) linear advertisement log data associated with a broadcast area including the first monitored site, and (iii) addressable advertisement log data associated with the first monitored site. Disclosed example apparatus also determine an under-addressable advertisement factor for the first television broadcast based on the tuned under-addressable advertisement duration and the total tuned advertisement duration, and adjust an input advertisement rating for the first television broadcast based on the under-addressable advertisement factor to determine an under-addressable advertisement rating for the first television broadcast.

摘要: Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture are disclosed to rectify false set top box tuning data. Disclosed examples methods include identifying in return path data a first group of set top boxes classified as likely to exhibit machine events in tuning data of the return path data more frequently than a second group of set top boxes represented in the return path data. Additionally, in some examples, the method includes determining whether the first group of set top boxes includes a machine event based on a pattern of the tuning data in the return path data for respective ones of the first group of set top boxes and improving an accuracy of return path data by rectifying the machine event.

摘要: Apparatus, systems, articles of manufacture, and methods are disclosed for correcting systematic tuning defects. An example apparatus includes a defect analyzer to identify a suspect time window in tuning volume data of return path data reported by set top boxes. The example apparatus further includes a return path data transformer to identify a first return path data entry indicating a first set top box reported a first transition to an off state at a first time during the suspect time window and to modify the first return path data entry to (1) eliminate the first transition to the off state at the first time and (2) assign the first return path data entry a first duration to remain in an on state after the first time, where the first duration is determined based on monitoring data reported from media device meters monitoring media presentation devices.
