Claim 8:
9. The system of claim 8 wherein using machine learning to construct the model comprises:
for each of the objects
determining a baseline distribution for an object based on events of the object that occurred in the historical time period,
determining an expected deviation from the baseline distribution of the object,
determining an event distribution for the object in the time window,
determining a distance between the baseline distribution and the event distribution, and
identifying the object as an outlier object when the distance is greater than the expected deviation;

performing hierarchical clustering of the event distributions of the outlier objects, each cluster associated with one or more outlier objects;
displaying a GUI that enables a user to apply a status label to each cluster of the event distributions or significant events associated with the outlier objects, each status label identifying a cluster as corresponding to a normal operational state or as corresponding to an abnormal operational state; and
storing the status labels and corresponding clusters of event distributions or significant events in an operational status database.
