1. A computer-implemented method for controlling the display of content on a content delivery channel, comprising:
- receiving temporal reach data for the content delivery channel;
receiving spatial reach data for the channel for content delivery;
receiving content data comprising information about a plurality of different pieces of content;
receiving confound data for at least some of the plurality of different pieces of content;
receiving randomization constraint data;
using a processor of a computer, computing an experimental unit comprising a response area based on the spatial reach data and a response duration based on the temporal reach data;
using the processor, assigning a first piece of content from the plurality of different pieces of content, to the experimental unit using the randomization constraint data; and
,using the processor, assigning additional pieces of content from the plurality of different pieces of content to the experimental unit, wherein the additional pieces of content do not confound the first piece of content according to the received confound data.

17. A computer-implemented system for displaying content in accordance with temporal and spatial experimental units, comprising:
-
at least one content delivery channel, comprising a plurality of displays; a computer data store having temporal reach factor data and a spatial reach factor data for the content delivery channel; information defining a plurality of different content pieces; a processor communicatively coupled to the data store and configured to execute instructions that; define an experimental unit comprising a response area and a response duration; associate channels for content delivery with experimental units; and associate at least some of the content pieces with the experimental units such that pieces of content that confound one another are not assigned to the same experimental unit. - View Dependent Claims (18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23)
