Abstract: Embodiments described herein relate to a method for probabilistically forecasting the state of hardware components. The method may include obtaining data items corresponding to a hardware component and performing an analysis of the hardware component. The analysis may include making a variety of probability predictions as to whether a label from among a set of possible labels is likely to be the correct label. The set of probabilities from the aforementioned analysis are then analyzed to determine which predicted label has the tightest range, and the prediction with the tightest range for a certain label is displayed to a user in a ranked fashion that includes a quantity of such probability prediction ranges. Such a display may allow an administrator to take action as to which hardware components should be replaced and in what order.
