Oztam says that you can add FTA and STV together, as well as VPM.Fred wrote: ↑Sun Jul 19, 2020 11:35 pm I have put this forth before without a real answer ....but I’ll ask again ... startisicslly ... can you simply add the two ratings figures(fta anz stv) together.
I have my reason for asking... initially... knowing a little about stats ... and remembering the figures give. Are estimates only ...weather you could simply add two such figures together that simply. I am sure you could but would be thinking there would have to be some other computations needing to occur. Things like allowing for different sample sizes...different methodology maybe.... population parameters of each group... median age of each group ... etc etc etc. whilst controlled for as far as possible within each group ... I’m unclear re: between groups.
Anyway... that was my thinking back them and no real answer and I just accepted that it is done so just go with it. To be honest... I am still not sure if you can even add regional and metro .... but pretty sure this would not have the same challenge as combining fox and fta into one overall figure ... let alone comparing fox ratings to fta ratings for the same game.
Anyway... was thinking today for some reason when watching offsiders and they showed the ratings. I was wondering when they do FTA ratings... when they get their sample data and infer to the population ... what is that population? So when they give melvourne metro ratings ... saying 500000 watch the afl Friday night in Melbourne ... I are they saying of the total population (let’s say Melbourne metro has 5 mil people for instance). If someone could answer that that would be good.
Now if this is in fact what they are doing.... inferring to the population ...then you could not possibly combine to the two figures of ptv and stv. But I want to know if my thinking is right first before I explain why.

Melbourne FTA for example includes Geelong and its surrounding area, while Sydney FTA ends before reaching Newcastle and its surrounds in the north, and wagga in the south
Its very hard to work out just what it is that your saying Fred.
