Abstract

A system and computer-implemented method for determining an estimated number of unique visitors to a network location from a geographical area. A non-linear approximation is utilized to determine the estimated number of unique visitors to the network location. The non-linear approximation is based on at least the estimated number of users within the geographical area, the estimated number of unique user identifiers within the geographical area, and the number of unique user identifiers from the geographical area that are observed at the network location.
