A method for converting a slope based detection task to a threshold based
detection task is provided. The method initiates with defining an
approximation equation for a set of points corresponding to values of a
process being monitored. Then, an expected value at a current point of the
process being monitored is predicted. Next, a difference between a
measured value at the current point of the process being monitored and the
corresponding expected value is calculated. Then, the difference is
monitored for successive points to detect a deviation value between the
measured value and the expected value. Next, a transition point for the
process being monitored is identified based on the detection of the
deviation value. A processing system configured to provide real time data
for a slope based transition and a computer readable media are also
provided.
