Abstract
A computer-implemented method for detecting faults and events related to a system includes receiving sensor data from a plurality of sensors associated with the system. A hierarchical failure model of the system is constructed using (i) the sensor data, (ii) fault detector data, (iii) prior knowledge about system variables and states, and (iii) one or more statistical descriptions of the system. The failure model comprises a plurality of diagnostic variables related to the system and their relationships. Probabilistic reasoning is performed for diagnostic or prognostic purposes on the system using the failure model to derive knowledge related to potential or actual system failures.
