1. A method for performing surveillance of an asset, the steps including:

  • acquiring residual data correlative to expected asset operation;

    fitting a mathematical model to the acquired residual data and storing the mathematical model in a memory means;

    collecting a current set of observed signal data values from the asset;

    using the mathematical model in a sequential hypotheses test to determine if the current set of observed signal data indicates unexpected operation of the asset that is indicative of a fault condition;

    outputting a signal correlative to a detected fault condition for providing asset surveillance.
