Abstract:
Examples apparatus disclosed herein are to determine a plurality of weights based on a data structure having elements corresponding to pairings of ones of a plurality of demographic partition statistics and ones of a plurality of baseline demographic statistics obtained for a target population, the demographic partition statistics corresponding to a plurality of demographic partitions of a sample population, a first element of the data structure to combine a first one of the demographic partition statistics with a first one of the baseline demographic statistics of the target population based on a first value corresponding to a numerator term of an expression and a second value corresponding to a denominator term of the expression, the weights corresponding respectively to the demographic partitions of the sample population. Disclosed example apparatus are also to adjust the attribute data based on the weights to determine ratings data for the target population.
