Abstract

Projection weights may be configured to project usage of a first set of resources by users of a first group of clients systems to usage of the first set of resources by users in a larger group of users. Users of the first group of client systems may be a sample of a larger group of users that access resources on the network using client systems. The projection weights may be determined based on a first set of usage data and a second set of usage data. The first set of usage data may be determined based on information received from monitoring applications installed on a first group of client systems. The second set of usage data may be determined based on information received from a second group of client systems sent as a result of beacon instructions included with a second set of resources accessed by the second group of client systems.
