A method of monitoring a system requiring periodic measurements of a plurality of points of the system, includes the steps of identifying deterministic points in the system as those points which are determinative of one or more determined points in the system,collecting measurements from the deterministic points of the system, storing the measurements, calculating a rate of change for each of the deterministic point value using previously stored measurements, calculating a rate of change of determined points from the rate of change of the deterministic points and using the rate of change values for deterministic points and determined points to estimate when an event will occur in relation to each point. |
