1. A method comprising:

  • receiving an input signal comprising information associated with at least one of;

    a rolling element bearing and a piece of equipment containing the rolling element bearing;

    decomposing the input signal into a frequency-domain signal;

    determining at least one family of frequencies corresponding to at least one failure mode of the rolling element bearing;

    generating a reconstructed input signal using the at least one family of frequencies and the frequency-domain signal; and

    determining, using the reconstructed input signal, an indicator identifying an overall health of the rolling element bearing.
