1. A method, comprising:
- acquiring (50) a signal indicative of power consumption;
detecting (52) a transient in the signal;
extracting (54) a feature indicative of the transient, wherein extracting the feature includes;
fitting (60) a plurality of models to the transient;
selecting (62) one of the plurality of models as a model for the transient;
defining (64) the feature indicative of the transient based on at least one parameter of the model for the transient; and
classifying (56) the transient based on the feature.
