The negative log likelihood (NLL) of signal segments are computed and used as measure of the extent to which signal segment deviates from reference density distribution which represents the healthy gearbox. The NLL discrepancy signal is subsequently synchronous averaged so that an intuitive, yet sensitive and robust, representation may be obtained which offers insight into the nature and extent to which gear is damaged. The methodology is applicable to non-linear, non-stationary machine response signals.
