Abstract
Methods and apparatus to estimate census level audience sizes, impression counts, and duration data are disclosed. Example instructions cause one or more processor to at least set up a system of equations based on first census data; select a census parameter value based on a constraint for census parameter selection, the constraint based on media access represented in panel data; iteratively solve for second census data that satisfies the system of equations using the panel data and the census parameter value, the second census data including an audience size value, an impression count value, and a duration value for a media item accessed by anonymous audience members in a demographic group; and generate a report including the second census data.
