Method and System for Geospatial Forecasting of Events Incorporating Data Error and Uncertainty
First Claim
1. A method for geospatial forecasting of events, comprising the steps of:
- defining a geospatial boundary;
receiving a plurality of layer information and event information related to the geospatial boundary;
incorporating data error into the layer information and event information; and
processing the layer information and event information in a forecasting algorithm.

Abstract
A system and method for geospatial forecasting of events that incorporates data error and uncertainty can be provided. The geospatial forecasting system can include a boundary module that is configured to define a geospatial boundary. A layer information and event information module can be provided that is configured to store layer information and event information related to the geospatial boundary. The event information can include location, or position, data about an event. Furthermore, a layer information and event information uncertainty module can be provided that is configured to incorporate data error into the layer information and event information. Finally, a geospatial forecasting module can be configured to receive the layer information and event information with the incorporated data error and process the layer information and event information to determine one or more future events.
