Claim One:
1. A method of detecting moisture on a glass substrate, the method comprising: providing a parameterized model (M) for a possible moisture-related disturbance; providing background information (I) concerning the model, I being known a priori; calculating a prior probability of M given I, P(M|I); collecting data from at least one sensor (D) connected to the substrate; computing a probability of the model given D and I, P(M|D,I); repeating the computing of P(M|D,I) as additional data is collected; and accepting the model if P(M|D,I) meets or exceeds a predetermined threshold, and otherwise rejecting the model, wherein the glass substrate is a part of a vehicle window, building window, or merchandiser; and wherein acceptance of the model triggers an action to be taken relative to the glass substrate, the action being selected from the group consisting of: (i) causing a wiper to remove moisture from a vehicle window, (ii) heating the glass substrate, and (iii) defrosting the glass substrate.
