1. A method, comprising:
accessing, by a device including a processor, a plurality of unauthenticated unique identification records associated with transactions between at least one client device and at least one server device during a specified time frame, wherein respective unauthenticated unique identification records are associated with respective unauthenticated unique identifiers of a plurality of unauthenticated unique identifiers; selecting, by the device, a subset of the plurality of unauthenticated unique identification records that meet a selection criteria; segmenting, by the device, the time frame into a plurality of disjoint time intervals; determining, by the device, possible combinations of bit patterns representing the respective unauthenticated unique identifiers, wherein a length of the bit patterns equals a quantity of the time intervals and each bit of a bit pattern indicates whether a corresponding unauthenticated unique identifier has an associated unauthenticated unique identification record that meets the selection criteria for a time interval associated with the bit; determining, by the device, a total quantity of possible churn patterns for the bit patterns; determining, by the device, a total quantity of expected unauthenticated unique identifiers for all combinations of the bit patterns and the churn patterns; and determining, by the device, a ratio of unauthenticated unique identifiers to unique users based upon the total quantity of expected unauthenticated unique identifiers and the total quantity of the churn patterns. |
