In a system and a method for monitoring the physical condition of a herd of livestock, errors between values predicted in accordance with a time-series model and corresponding measured values are used for determining a confidence interval for a prediction for each animal individually the significance of an error between a prediction and a measured value regarding the likelihood that the animal is in heat or suffers from a disease is automatically assessed for each animal individually. There is no need to determine dedicated confidence intervals for different situations and properties. A better fit of the time-series model automatically results in a narrowed confidence interval. |
