1. A computer-implemented method for predicting failure in a system, the method comprising:

  • receiving data associated with a system, the received data including sensed data indicative of a system response to a specific load on the system while the system is in operation other than undergoing a system test;

    calculating a prediction indicative of a potential failure of said system using a pre-selected probabilistic model and said received data, the probabilistic model selected to calculate said prediction based on at least the specific load; and

    wherein the probabilistic model utilizes at least one of fast probability methods and simulation techniques.
