The measurement is based on two representative representative A sample is said to be representative when it has been generated via a representative draw, meaning that each individual in the population had a non-zero probability of being selected. Representativeness relates to the sample and not to a unit of the population. It is not synonymous with a proportional sample or a "reduced model" of the population studied. In survey theory, it has been demonstrated that an optimal sampling strategy consists of organising the sample according to the variables that are most correlated to the subject of the study.

These units may be physical persons, households, companies, municipalities, etc. The population serves as a sampling frame for selecting a sample, and as a basis for calculation of the extrapolations from the sample.

• A first panel panel A sample from which information is collected over time. It can be questioned several times at regular intervals. This method is pertinent for studying changes in behaviour. The sample can be questioned continuously: - either: each individual in the panel is asked to fill in a daily questionnaire relating to the subject of the study. This is the case for the Radio panel. - or the information is recorded and returned regularly. This is the case for the Médiamat panel. This method is pertinent for understanding behavioural patterns and their changes if the panel lasts long enough.

These viewership figures are then attributed to individuals in the first panel through Statistical matching Statistical matching The statistical matching method is used to reconcile data collected from different surveys. It consists of complementing a so-called "recipient" sample, where certain information is not present, with a so-called "donor" sample relating to other individuals. To do this, the two samples must contain common information, called bridging variables. Statistical matching is a particular way of handling non-responses. Find out more .
