Abstract
A computer monitors a state of a system. A time branch is defined for each valid value of each discrete variable. A system model is executed with observed values to update each time branch and determine a probability associated with each time branch. A discrete variable is selected, and a sequence duration value is incremented. When the incremented sequence duration value is greater than a predefined minimum sequence duration value, a probability change value is computed for the discrete variable, and, when the computed probability change value is less than or equal to a synchronization probability change value, a continuous value for each continuous variable for each time branch of the discrete variable is synchronized, and the sequence duration value for the selected discrete variable is reinitialized. The continuous value for at least one non-observed continuous variable is output.
