1. A method for diagnosis and prognosis of faults in a physical system comprising:

  • receiving sensor data representative of measurements made on the physical system, the measurements being representative of values of signals produced by the physical system;

    receiving discrete data comprising system status variables and system command information;

    producing model enhanced sensor signals by fitting the sensor data to a partial model of the physical system;

    producing predicted system states based on the discrete data;

    detecting discrepancies among the discrete data;

    identifying suspected bad signals by detecting discrepancies among the sensor data based on a statistical model of the sensor data;

    confirming detection of failures based on the discrepancies among the discrete data, on the suspected bad signals, and on the predicted system states; and

    producing predicted faults based on a stochastic model of the sensor data to produce predicted values of the sensor data from the stochastic model, the predicted faults being based on the predicted values.
