1. A method for estimating a status of a system, the method comprising:
performing independent measurements on the system;
associating a value P(γ) of a probability measure P, when applied to a power related metric γ, with a Monte Carlo calculated probability measure P(γ), which depends on (1) a preset threshold Nu of unfavorable events extracted from the measurements, and (2) a total number Ñtot(γ) of the independent measurements for collecting the preset threshold Nu of the unfavorable events;
setting a threshold level η uniquely associated with the system;
requiring that a critical value γc of the power related metric γ makes a value P(γc) of the probability measure P to be substantially equal to the threshold level η;
comparing the total number Ñtot(γ) of independent measurements to a ratio of (1) a product of a control parameter E and the preset threshold Nu of the unfavorable events, and (2) the threshold level η; and
interrupting the independent measurements performed on the system if the total number Ñtot(γ) is larger than the ratio, and increasing an output of the system if the total number Ñtot(γ) is smaller than or equal to the ratio,
wherein the system is a telecommunication system or a power system, and
wherein the output is a power of a signal for the telecommunication system or a generated power for the power system.
