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.

Abstract
System and method providing surveillance of an asset such as a process and/or apparatus by providing training and surveillance procedures that numerically fit a probability density function to an observed residual error signal distribution that is correlative to normal asset operation and then utilizes the fitted probability density function in a dynamic statistical hypothesis test for providing improved asset surveillance.
