Abstract:
This paper proposes an improved remaining useful life (RUL) prediction method for stochastic degradation devices monitored by multi-source sensors under data-model interactive framework. Firstly, the interrelationships among sensors are established using k-nearest neighbor (KNN), and the composite health index (CHI) is constructed by aggregating the multi-source sensor information through the graph convolutional network (GCN). Secondly, a stochastic degradation model with triple uncertainty at any initial degradation level is established to improve the matching degree between the stochastic degradation model and the actual degradation process. Then, a data-model interactive mechanism is proposed to form a closed-loop optimization between the CHI construction and the stochastic degradation model to enhance the RUL prediction accuracy of the device. Finally, experiments on aero-engine and tool datasets indicate that the proposed method can improve the comprehensive performance by at least 20% compared with the original method of the data-model interactive framework, which verifies its effectiveness and superiority.

Prediction Intervals
However, the point estimate is most likely not the exact value of the population parameter, but close to it. After calculating point estimates, we construct interval estimates, called confidence intervals or prediction intervals. This prediction interval comprises a range of values unlike the point estimate and is a better predictor of the observed sample value, y.
