1. A computing system comprising:
- a network interface configured to facilitate communications over a communication network with one or more asset-related sources and one or more client stations;
at least one processor;
a non-transitory computer-readable medium; and
program instructions stored on the non-transitory computer-readable medium that are executable by the at least one processor to cause the computing system to;
receive, via the network interface from a client station configured with a user interface for use in analyzing fault occurrences across a population of assets, data indicating two or more variables that have been selected by a user via a selection pane of the user interface that includes a variable selection field, wherein the two or more variables each comprise a respective type of asset attribute having a range of possible values;
access data reflecting the respective values of the two or more selected variables at the time of each fault occurrence for the population of assets;
based on the accessed data, determine a respective number of fault occurrences aggregated across the population of assets for each combination of values of the selected two or more variables;
identify at least one outlier combination of values of the selected two or more variables that corresponds to an abnormally large number of fault occurrences relative to the other combinations of values of the selected two or more variables; and
transmit, via the network interface to the client station, data that causes the client station to present a visualization pane of the user interface that provides (1) an indication of the respective number of fault occurrences aggregated across the population of assets for each combination of values of the selected two or more variables and (2) an indication of the identified at least one outlier combination of values of the selected two or more variables, wherein the visualization pane of the user interface comprises one or more of a summary table view, a pivot table view, a categorical plot view, a bar chart view, and a density plot view.

Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems, devices, and methods related to analyzing faults across a population of assets. In particular, examples involve receiving a selection of variables each corresponding to an asset attribute type, accessing data associated with the selected variables, determining the number of fault occurrences across the population of assets for each combination of values of the selected variables, and facilitating the identification of outlier combination(s) that correspond to an abnormally large number of fault occurrences relative to other combination(s).
