English term or phrase: to run a probability logarithm predicting...
Les services secrets britanniques ont appris qu'un homme (Jones) qu'ils recherchaient était arrivé à Londres depuis plus d'une heure.
Agent (spécialiste de l'informatique) : When the intel came in, I ran a probability logarithm predicting possible locations of Jones.

d'utiliser une probabilité logarithmique pour prévoir ...


Explanation:
probabilité logarithmique existe effectivement en statistiques mais je me demande si c'est bien ce qu'à voulu dire l'auteur.
il pourrait aussi y avoir une faute de frappe dans le source : "logarithm" -> "algorithm" auquel cas on aurait un "algorithme de calcul de probabilité"

disagree  Tony M: But it's not 'logarithmic probability', its' probability logarithm'
