A system for detecting one or more faulty sensors in a multi-sensor
monitor includes a partitioning module for partitioning sensor values
generated by the multi-sensor monitor into two distinct sets, a training
set and a validation set. The system also includes a training module for
training a model using the sensor values belonging to the training set
and applying the model to each sensor value belonging to the validation
set so as to determine a range of acceptable sensor values. The system
further includes an estimating module for obtaining an estimated sensor
value for each sensor using the model, and a fault-determining module for
testing at least one sensor combination if a sensor value is not within
its range of acceptable sensor values. A sensor combination includes at
least one sensor whose estimated sensor value is not within the range of
acceptable values.
