Claim One:
1. A processor-based system for generating a probability map, comprising: at least one processor configured to: receive a geo-spatially discrete input data set associated with a quantity to be mapped; generate a statistically significant number of maps of values for the quantity within an area of interest based on the geo-spatially discrete input data set, wherein generation of the statistically significant number of maps includes applying a processor-based mapping algorithm to generate an initial map of values for the quantity within the area of interest based on the geo-spatially discrete input data set, using a random number generator to iteratively modify one or more algorithm parameters associated with the mapping algorithm, and for each iterative modification of the one or more algorithm parameters, applying the mapping algorithm to the geo-spatially discrete input data set using the modified one or more algorithm parameters in order to generate an additional map of values for the quantity within the area of interest; generate a probability map associated with the quantity based on the statistically significant number of maps by operating on the statistically significant number of maps.
