Abstract
Panel and census data representing accesses by sets of users with multiple types of media platforms to media content associated with multiple media entities is accessed. An overlap in the accessed panel data that represents users who have accessed media content associated with the media entity with more than one of the multiple types of media platforms is determined. Based on the accessed panel data, the determined overlap in the accessed panel data, and the accessed census data, an overlap function that estimates an overlap in the accessed census data is derived. The derived overlap function is applied to census data associated with a media entity to estimate an overlap in the census data associated with the media entity. The overlap in the census data represents users who have accessed media content associated with the media entity with more than one of the multiple types of media platforms.
