1. A method to analyze traffic to network resources, the method comprising:
- obtaining first measurement data for a monitored resource;
obtaining second measurement data for the monitored network resource;
obtaining third measurement data for an unmonitored network resource;
scaling the second measurement data based on a first weighting factor corresponding to a population to determine an estimate of a total number of accesses of the monitored network resource;
dividing the estimate of the total number of accesses of the monitored network resource by a number of accesses determined from the first measurement data to determine an error rate;
scaling the third measurement data based on a second weighting factor corresponding to the population to determine an estimate of the total number of accesses of the unmonitored resource; and
multiplying the estimate of the total number of accesses of the unmonitored resource by the error rate to determine the total number of accesses of the unmonitored resource.

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.

13. A non-transitory computer readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause a machine to at least:
-
obtain first measurement data for a monitored network resource; obtain second measurement data for the monitored network resource; obtain third measurement data for an unmonitored network resource; and scale the second measurement data based on a first weighting factor corresponding to a population to determine an estimate of a total number of accesses of the monitored network resource; divide the estimate of the total number of accesses of the monitored network resource by a number of accesses determined from the first measurement data to determine an error rate; scale the third measurement data based on a second weighting factor corresponding to the population to determine an estimate of the total number of accesses of the unmonitored resource; and multiply the estimate of the total number of accesses of the unmonitored resource by the error rate to determine the total number of accesses of the unmonitored resource. - View Dependent Claims (14, 15, 16, 17)

18. An apparatus to analyze traffic to network resources, the apparatus comprising:
a processor programmed to; obtain first measurement data for a monitored web page from a first set of devices, the first measurement data to be generated by first measurement code provided to the first set of the devices in association with the monitored web page, the first measurement code being dedicated to measure activity with respect to the monitored web page; obtain second measurement data for the monitored web page from a second set of devices, the second measurement data to be generated by second measurement code provided by a measurement entity to measure online activity, the second measurement code not being dedicated to monitor a particular web page; obtain third measurement data for an unmonitored web page from a third set of devices; scale the second measurement data based on a first weighting factor corresponding to a population to determine an estimate of a total number of accesses of the monitored network resource; divide the estimate of the total number of accesses of the monitored network resource by a number of accesses determined from the first measurement data to determine an error rate; scale the third measurement data based on a second weighting factor corresponding to the population to determine an estimate of the total number of accesses of the unmonitored resource; and multiply the estimate of the total number of accesses of the unmonitored resource by the error rate to determine the total number of accesses of the unmonitored resource. - View Dependent Claims (19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25)
