Abstract
The present invention provides methods and apparatus for determining and utilizing case-based ranking methods, such as methods for machine condition monitoring. Specifically, the present invention provides a method for identifying and prioritizing labeled data. The method allows a monitored system to be associated with a calibrated and ordered set of states. Further, in machine condition monitoring, the machine condition is associated with the entire set of states in a particular order with one or more relevance zero-points. That is, a ranked set of calibrated data describing machine conditions is augmented with an annotation indicating a cut-off between relevant and non-relevant data.
