1. A computer-implemented method for assisting in the maintenance of a mobile platform by determining occurrence probabilities of one or more potential causes of an event detected onboard the mobile platform, the method performed by a ground-based apparatus remote from the mobile platform, the method comprising:

  • receiving, at the ground-based apparatus and from the mobile platform, an identification of the event associated with a system of the mobile platform;

    using the identification of the event and predefined diagnostic rules associated with the event, identifying the one or more potential causes of the event;

    using other data related to the event, computing an occurrence probability for each potential cause for the event; and

    generating an output, the output comprising an identification of each potential cause and the occurrence probability of each potential cause.
