Abstract
Methods, systems, and apparatuses for audience metric determination are described herein. An audience segment may be targeted for delivery of content. A clustering algorithm may be used to categorize a quantity of users or devices into subsets based on a propensity to consume, present or output a particular type of content, and a quantity of time to output the particular type of content. A weight may be assigned to each subset based on its relevance to other subsets, such as based on data variance, e.g., on a distance to a midpoint of a specific subset of the subsets. An index parameter may be determined for the datasets, e.g., based on each weight for each subset, and data may be generated that reflects a ranking of content delivery spots for delivery of content to the audience segment.
