Table 3 Distance mean absolute error (MAE) of estimated locations and depth root mean square error (RMSE) for 4 geolocation treatments of 100 simulated data sets: (1) Standard movement kernel (no mini expansions) and weighted mean most probable track, (2) Standard movement kernel and Viterbi most probable track, (3) Expanding movement kernel (25 mini expansions) and weighted mean most probable track, (4) Expanding movement kernel and Viterbi most probable track

Standard/Viterbi | 39.3 | 19.1–85.9 | 45 | 10–156 |
Expanding/Wt. mean | 37.3 | 17.2–83.3 | 337 | 120–858 |
Expanding/Viterbi | 38.7 | 17.1–86.4 | 45 | 10–157 |
