Research on fusion algorithm for service life prediction based on kernel functions by TANG Huan, LI Yizhu, LYU Peng

“…Early in the lifecycle of these control devices, the lack of real-time degradation data makes the physics-of-failure-based methods more accurate. However, as these devices approach the end of their lifecycle, a large amount of degradation data accumulates, allowing the degradation-data-based methods to yield more precise predictions. …”
