Abstract
A hierarchical multi-stage model of asset failure risk for complex heterogeneously distributed physical assets is built. The hierarchical multi-stage model considers heterogeneity of failure patterns for the assets. At least one data stream is analyzed to determine whether the hierarchical multi-stage model needs to be updated due to a change in the failure patterns. If the analysis indicates that the hierarchical multi-stage model needs to be updated, the hierarchical multi-stage model is dynamically updated to obtain an updated hierarchical multi-stage model.
