Abstract
A method and system for geolocation. The method and system determines the geographic history of a target of interest (i.e., the probability that a sample of interest passed though a defined location) given a combination of spatially attributable input data and weighing distributions, and modifying the probability for each possible location using the equation where P(x) is the probability that the sample of interest passes through a given geographic location X, nis the total number of possible legal travel routes for the sample of interest, nis the number of legal travel routes including location X, k is the travel route's cardinality, and w(k) is the assigned weight for cardinality k from the user-defined weighting function.
