ABSTRACT:
A method and system diagnoses system reliability problems and/or system failure in a physical system through the predictive identification of errant fluctuations in one or more operating parameters of said physical system. The values of at least one kind of operating parameter of physical system are determined. A data stream of the parameter values are divided into one or more sets, and the sets are associated into one or more series. Through a series of mathematical calculations, it is determined whether an N0, Nx or N1 condition exists. An N0 condition indicates that the values are probably within a good operating range. An Nx condition indicates the probability of approaching a point outside of a good operating range condition. An N1 condition indicates the entering of the range of possible system failure.
