  • Diagnostic and prognostic method and system
    Patent number: 7499777
    Abstract: A method for diagnosing a system is provided. The method may include obtaining a plurality of input parameters from the system. The system may generate actual values of one or more output parameters based on the plurality of input parameters. The method may also include independently deriving values of the one or more output parameters, based on the plurality of input parameters, using a computational model, and detecting a divergence between the derived values and the actual values. Further, the method may include identifying respective desired statistic distributions of the plurality of input parameters, based on the actual values of the one or more output parameters, using the computational model.
