A recent attempt at repeat business analysis was done by Japanese scholars{{citation needed|date=October 2013}} and is part of the Cinematic Contagion Systems patented by Geneva Media Holdings, and such modeling has been used in data collection from the time of the original [[Nielsen ratings]] to modern studio and television test audiences.
