System and method for modelling access requests to multi-channel arrays

A system comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a processing device, coupled to the memory, to:
• identify a plurality of past videos posted via a first group of channels during a historical time interval, wherein each channel of the first group of channels comprises at least one of the plurality of past videos, and wherein the first group of channels has at least one common characteristic with a second group of channels;
• determine, for each channel of the second group of channels, an average number of access requests that a future video to be posted via a respective channel of the second group is predicted to receive within a first time interval after posting;
• determine, for each channel of the second group of channels, a plurality of adjusted average numbers of access requests that the future video to be posted via the respective channel of the second group is predicted to receive within the first time interval after posting, wherein each of the plurality of adjusted average numbers of access requests is determined using an adjustment factor that is based on a number of access requests received by a past video, from the plurality of past videos, posted via a respective channel of the first group;
• and
• determine whether the second group of channels satisfies a predetermined access criterion based on the plurality of adjusted average numbers of access requests for each channel of the second group of channels.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium to store instructions, which when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to:

• identify a plurality of past videos posted via a first group of channels during a historical time interval, wherein each channel of the first group of channels comprises at least one of the plurality of past videos, and wherein the first group of channels has at least one common characteristic with a second group of channels;
• determine, for each channel of the second group of channels, an average number of access requests that a future video to be posted via a respective channel of the second group is predicted to receive within a first time interval after posting;
• determine, for each channel of the second group of channels, a plurality of adjusted average numbers of access requests that the future video to be posted via the respective channel of the second group is predicted to receive within the first time interval after posting, wherein each of the plurality of adjusted average numbers of access requests is determined using an adjustment factor that is based on a number of access requests received by a past video, from the plurality of past videos, posted via a respective channel of the first group;
• and
• determine whether the second group of channels satisfies a predetermined access criterion based on the plurality of adjusted average numbers of access requests for each channel of the second group of channels.
