First Claim
Patent Images
1. A method for determining a probabilistic loss of function of a system, the method comprising the steps of:
- determining a plurality of failure mode probabilities;
ranking a plurality of functions pertaining to the failure mode probabilities; and
identifying a likely function at least substantially lost by the system, based at least in part on the plurality of failure mode probabilities and the ranking.
