Yet it is often not possible to replicate such behavior, let alone determine the root cause of faults. This paper presents an approach to identify anomalous behavior using a simple Mahalanobis Distance approach. A case study of experiments conducted on a field returned electronic product is presented. </p> <p><b>Index Terms:</b> intermittent behavior, field returned electronics, anomalous behavior, Mahalanobis Distance</p> <p><a href="../../fulltext/2008/08_Abraham_anamolyDetection_elecSystemIntegrationTechnConf.pdf">Complete article</a> is available to CALCE PHM Consortium Members.</p> <p><font size="-2"><font color="red">© IEEE.
