Probability Density (Pden)

January 22nd, 2010 by Robert Bradley Leave a reply »

The probability density is found by dividing the Probability of Area (POA) by the size of the search area or sector.

This gives you an idea of the likelihood that the missing person or object is in an area of the same size in two different search sectors. It is an extremely important concept to understand in managing a search. The higher the Pden, the better the chances of finding the misper.
