1. A method to predict remaining life of a target, the method comprising:
- receiving information regarding a behavior of the target, said information including at least one of a maintenance history and a utilization history;
identifying from a database at least one piece of equipment having similarities to the target based upon said behavior;
retrieving from the database data having a relationship to the behavior;
evaluating a similarity of the relationship between the equipment and the target using said data and said information;
creating at least one model based upon the similarity;
predicting the remaining life of the target based upon the models using an evolutionary search of said model for at least one iteration; and
generating a signal corresponding to the predicted remaining life of the target.

Abstract
A method to predict remaining life of a target is disclosed. The method includes receiving information regarding a behavior of the target, and identifying from a database at least one piece of equipment having similarities to the target. The method further includes retrieving from the database data prior to an end of the equipment useful life, the data having a relationship to the behavior, evaluating a similarity of the relationship, predicting the remaining life of the target based upon the similarity, and generating a signal corresponding to the predicted remaining equipment life.

16. A system to predict remaining useful life of a target, the system comprising:
-
a database comprising data for equipment; a processor in signal communication with the database; a computational model application for executing on the processor, the computational model performing a method, comprising; receiving information regarding a behavior of the target, said behavior including at least one of maintenance history and utilization history; identifying from the database at least one piece of equipment having similarities to the target; retrieving from the database data having a relationship to the behavior; evaluating a similarity of the relationship; creating at least one model based upon the similarity; and predicting the remaining useful life of the target based upon the similarity using an evolutionary search of said model for at least one iteration; wherein the processor is responsive to the computational model application to generate a signal corresponding to the predicted remaining useful life. - View Dependent Claims (17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28)
