Status estimation is determined for an entity having a plurality of components. An original disjunction of diagnostic expressions indicating at least one of a fault-free or at least one fault mode for at least one of the components is determined, which is then investigated against a set of diagnostic test results, and expressions that do not imply the test result are discarded. Further, for each statement in the test result, a joint diagnostic expression is generated representing a conjunction of the statement and the currently investigated diagnostic expression. Joint diagnostic expressions that imply one of the original diagnosis expressions are discarded. Otherwise, they are added to an updated disjunction of diagnostic expressions. All remaining diagnostic expressions in the temporary disjunction of diagnostic expressions are then added to the updated disjunction of diagnostic expressions, and a status report is produced.
