1. A method for predictive maintenance of a machine, the method comprising:

  • collecting data related to operation of the machine;

    transforming at least some of the data into feature vectors in a first feature space;

    standardizing at least some of the feature vectors, thereby creating standardized feature vectors in a standardized feature space;

    transforming at least some of the standardized feature vectors into two-dimensional feature vectors in a two-dimensional feature space;

    clustering at least some of the two-dimensional feature vectors based on similarity between the two-dimensional feature vectors, thereby forming at least one two-dimensional vector cluster;

    collecting additional data related to operation of the machine;

    transforming at least some of the additional data into additional feature vectors in the first feature space;

    standardizing at least some of the additional feature vectors, thereby creating additional standardized feature vectors in the standardized feature space;

    transforming at least some of the additional standardized feature vectors into additional two-dimensional feature vectors in the two-dimensional feature space; and

    analyzing at least some of the additional two-dimensional feature vectors relative to the at least one two-dimensional vector cluster to provide predictive maintenance information for the machine.
