Abstract
A method and system for analysing and measuring multiple sources of data over a communications network (18) so as to ascertain information or usage of one or more resources, such as resource servers (2). A data collection and processing means (20) collects and processes the data sources which are forwarded to a reporting server (34) as a combined data source made available to interested parties.

A method to analyze presentation of media content, the method comprising:
- scaling first measurement data for a monitored media content based on a weighting factor to determine a first estimate of a size of an audience of the monitored media content;
- dividing the first estimate of the size of the audience of the monitored media content by a size of the audience of the monitored media content determined from a second measurement data for the monitored media content to determine an error rate;
- scaling third measurement data for the monitored media content based on the weighting factor to determine a second estimate of a size of the audience of the unmonitored media content;
- and
- multiplying, using a processor, the second estimate of the size of the audience of the monitored media content by the error rate to determine a size of the audience of the monitored media content.
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
- scale first measurement data for a monitored media content based on a weighting factor to determine a first estimate of a size of an audience of the monitored media content;
- divide the first estimate of the size of the audience of the monitored media content by a size of the audience of the monitored media content determined from a second measurement data for the monitored media content to determine an error rate;
- scale third measurement data for the monitored media content based on the weighting factor to determine a second estimate of a size of the audience of the unmonitored media content;
- and
- multiply the second estimate of the size of the audience of the monitored media content by the error rate to determine a size of the audience of the monitored media content.
An apparatus to analyze traffic to network resources, the apparatus comprising:
- a processor configured to:
- scale first measurement data for a monitored media content based on a weighting factor to determine a first estimate of a size of an audience of the monitored media content;
- divide the first estimate of the size of the audience of the monitored media content by a size of the audience of the monitored media content determined from a second measurement data for the monitored media content to determine an error rate;
- scale third measurement data for the monitored media content based on the weighting factor to determine a second estimate of a size of the audience of the unmonitored media content;
- and
- multiply the second estimate of the size of the audience of the monitored media content by the error rate to determine a size of the audience of the monitored media content.
