Abstract
Methods, apparatus, systems, and articles of manufacture to virtually estimate cardinality with global registers are disclosed. An example apparatus includes processor circuitry to s assign subsets of a sample dataset to a shared global register array, the shared global register array having a first number of registers, the sample dataset selected from a reference dataset of media assets; identify a virtual register array from the shared global register array that includes data elements associated with a label value, the virtual register array including a second number of registers less than the first number of registers; determine a maximum rank value of the label value across the virtual register array; and calculate a cardinality estimate of the label value across the virtual register array based on the second number of registers and the maximum rank value.
