Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

Systems and methods are disclosed for generating a probability density to estimate the probability that an event will occur in a region of interest. The methods input spatial event data comprising one or more events occurring in the region of interest along with auxiliary data related to the region of interest. The auxiliary data comprises non-event data having spatial resolution such that the probability density estimate for the region of interest is calculated based on a function of the auxiliary data and the event data. In particular, the auxiliary data is used to generate a penalty functional used in the calculation of the probability density estimate.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A system for generating a probability density to estimate the probability that an event will occur in a region of interest, comprising: a processor; programming executable on said processor for: inputting spatial event data comprising one or more events occurring in the region of interest; inputting auxiliary data related to the region of interest; wherein the auxiliary data comprises non-event data having spatial resolution; wherein the auxiliary d…
