主权项

1. A computer-implemented method for estimating participation in one or more attractions at a venue, the method comprising:
receiving data directly or indirectly from members of a prospective audience for the one or more attractions, the data comprising, for each individual member of the prospective audience, an attraction interest metric based on actions taken by an audience member indicating interest in a particular attraction and one or more additional metrics, the one or more additional metrics comprising a social influence metric based on how actions of the audience member influence other members of the prospective audience; calculating an individual participation expectation value for each individual member of the prospective audience, wherein the individual participation expectation value is calculated at least partially from the attraction interest metric of the audience member and social influence metrics of members of the prospective audience; and calculating a total participation estimate for at least one of the one or more attractions if the at least one of the one or more attractions were to be placed at the venue by summing the individual participation expectation values of the prospective audience members.
