Claim 4:
5. A method comprising:
evaluating data points, collected from mobile devices, based upon locational data to identify a set of data points corresponding to a geographical region;
separating the set of data points into groups based upon at least one of mobile device sessions or user identifiers associated with the mobile devices;
temporally sequencing data points within a group based upon timestamp data;
generating a vector, derived from a sequence of data points within the group, corresponding to a path of a mobile device within the geographical region;
generating synthetic data points corresponding to movement along the vector according to fixed value steps;
identifying a set of leftover data points not within the groups; and
applying a random walk with drift distribution to the set of leftover data points to generate confidence bounds.
