Mechanisms and techniques provide a system to evaluate operational
integrity of a data processing system such as an area augmentation system
by obtaining at least one set of distribution data related to information
processed by the data processing system. The set(s) of distribution data
can include corrections information and integrity bounds information
related to the corrections information. The system applies a moment
generating function to the set of distribution data to produce a moment
bounded distribution data result and compares the moment bounded
distribution data result to an integrity limit to determine if the data
processing system operates within an acceptable integrity threshold. The
system can be used in real-time or non-real time with sets of
distribution data that are non-Gaussian, non-symmetric and/or
non-unimodal.
