DM-32 - Error-based uncertainty
Learning Objectives:
Define uncertainty-related terms, such as error, accuracy, uncertainty, precision, stochastic, probabilistic, deterministic, and random
Recognize expressions of uncertainty in language
Evaluate the causes of uncertainty in geospatial data
Describe a stochastic error model for a natural phenomenon
Explain how the familiar concepts of geographic objects and fields affect the conceptualization of uncertainty
Recognize the degree to which the importance of uncertainty depends on scale and application
Differentiate uncertainty in geospatial situations from vagueness
