Method for configuring an apparatus or method for prediction of a malfunction of a unit, comprising the steps of: providing components of the unit; providing single malfunctions for each component; providing probabilities for the single malfunctions of each component; providing at least one parameter of each component for each single malfunction of this component; dividing each parameter into a plurality of discrete value states; providing values of the parameters; determining a transition matrix for each parameter on the basis of the measurements of this parameter, wherein the transition matrix comprises for the plurality of discrete value states of each parameter the probabilities to switch from one of the discrete value states to another of the discrete value states within a certain time period; determining the probabilities of the discrete value states of the parameters on the basis of the measurements of the parameters; and providing the conditional probabilities of the discrete value states of the parameters given the corresponding single malfunction. |
