Abstract

Estimating a remaining useful life (RUL) of an apparatus is disclosed. A computer device may obtain a priori RUL data of an apparatus. The a priori RUL data identifies a priori RULs values of the apparatus as a function of time. Buckets are then defined in the a priori RUL data, wherein each of the buckets corresponds to a different set of the a priori RUL values in the a priori RUL data. An operational event indicator may then be obtained for the apparatus that indicates a current operational event of the apparatus. The RUL of an apparatus is estimated by determining probability values throughout a time period. Probability values are then determined based on the operational event indicator where each probability value quantifies a probability that a current RUL value of the first apparatus is within one of the buckets.
