Abstract

An example apparatus includes at least one processor and first memory comprising computer readable instructions that, when executed, cause the at least one processor to log an impression in second memory at an audience measurement entity based on a communication received from a computing device. The example computer readable instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to determine that a primary user of the computing device is not the user operating the computing device when a first probability score for the primary user does not satisfy a threshold, and in response to determining that the primary user is not the user operating the computing device, identify one of a plurality of secondary users as the user operating the computing device. The example computer readable instructions, when executed, cause the at least one processor to store demographic information of the user operating the computing device.
