Abstract: A building management system (BMS) includes a controller that monitors performance values for a controlled process during a first time period relative to initial outlier detection limits and generates new outlier detection limits for the controlled process in response to a detected change in the controlled process during the first time period. The controller monitors the performance values relative to the new outlier detection limits during a second time period to detect outliers during the second time period. The controller calculates a confidence difference for an estimated confidence parameter based on a number of outliers detected using the new outlier detection limits during the second time period. The controller adjusts the new outlier detection limits in response to the confidence difference dropping below a threshold value.
