6.2.2 Progression Modeling
From the assumptions made in the previous section, an indicator progression model is constructed. For normal component behavior, the model produces a d with constant value and a r with constant gain. In response to a component replacement, the model produces an abrupt change in the value of d. To emulate progression patterns associated with mechanical degradation, the model produces random transitions in the value of d and in the gain of r.
The variations in d are obviously not random for a given failure mode. However, given a failure mode which is unknown or not well understood, these .uctuations will appear as random. As this is the case for most failure modes to which a helicopter transmission system is susceptible, the fault signature model is made without assumptions of a priori knowledge of progression patterns.
The two main components for the indicator time series is the deterministic

process d and the random process r (Eq. 6.1).
The
component
d is itself made up of a step component b and a trend component c.
d(t)= b(t)+ c(t) (6.2)
The component b is recursive with initial value b(0) equal to dcc. This constitutes the initial value of b and thus the initial expected value of the in-dicator. The last term of the expression contains a boolean expression which returns 1 when true, and 0 otherwise. This results in a step of amplitude ab at position pb. The parameters ab and pb can be arrays of several elements,
(k)(k)
ab and pb , in which case several steps will be generated and step index is denoted by k.
(k)(k)
b(t)= b(t . 1) + [t == pb ].ab (6.3)
The trend component is made up of a sum of weighted sigmoids, where ac constitutes amplitude, qc slope and pc position in time. The variable k is the sigmoid index, and Kc is the number of sigmoids in the sum.

The random component r is itself made up of two processes, the outlier component s and the white noise process w.
r(t)= s(t)+ w(t) (6.5)
The white noise component is constructed from a gaussian process rg with variable gain gw (Eq. 6.6).
