Claim 0:
1. A method comprising the steps of:
receiving first data representing conditions at each of the plurality of sensors, the plurality of sensors comprising at least a first sensor and a second sensor;
determining a plurality of averages using data from each sensor, each of the plurality of averages determined using data received over an interval of time;
repeatedly combining the plurality of averages to obtain a plurality of combined averages for each sensor;
determining a distribution of the plurality of combined averages for each sensor;
using the distribution, determine an upper control limit and a lower control limit for each sensor;
receiving second data from the plurality of sensors representing conditions at each of the plurality of sensors;
comparing the received second data from a first sensor with the upper control limit and lower control limit for the first sensor and identify an undesirable condition if the second data falls outside of a range defined between the upper control limit for the first sensor and the lower control limit for the first sensor;
determining a severity value of an undesirable condition at the first sensor by dividing the received second data from the first sensor representing the undesirable condition by the upper control limit for the first sensor;
determining the cumulative severity of detected undesirable conditions by performing the steps of:
combining the severity value of the undesirable condition at the first sensor with a severity value of an undesirable condition from at least one additional sensor into a mean severity value;
applying a cumulative distribution function to the resulting mean severity values determined over a period of time; and
applying a sensor location multiplier to a result of the cumulative distribution function; and

triggering an alert as the result of the identified undesirable condition.
