Abstract
Parameter settings and operational data are received from machines for a current predefined time interval. For each machine, a corresponding health metric value is calculated based on the received operational data and machine health data, and stored in association with the received corresponding parameter settings. Associated unknown health metric values are estimated for machines associated with combinations of parameter settings different from the received parameter settings having at least one of the combinations of parameter settings with an associated previously determined health metric value, and at least one other of the combinations of parameter settings with the associated unknown health metric value, based on the corresponding calculated health metric value and the corresponding previously determined health metric value. Associated parameter settings for at least one healthiest machine and at least one least healthy machine are determined based on the stored health metric values and are automatically adjusted.
