Method for determining a property of a machine, in particular a machine tool, without metrologically capturing the property

A Computer-implemented method for determining a property of a machine, in particular a machine tool, without metrologically capturing the property, the method comprising:

• capturing one or more first time series of one or more physical measurement variables of the machine;
• detecting change points in the one or more first time series;
• extracting pattern-sequence instances from the first time series on the basis of the detected change points;
• producing a plurality of pattern-sequence classes in accordance with the extracted pattern-sequence instances;
• identifying at least one characteristic of a plurality of pattern-sequence instances of the same pattern-sequence class and a time curve of the characteristic;
• determining a property of a machine using the identified characteristic and/or using the time curve of the identified characteristic;
• and
• assigning the pattern-sequence classes to operating states of the machine and/or a component of the machine and/or a tool of the machine.
