Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer program products for generating wear-based indicators are provided herein. A method includes assigning a failure label to each data point associated with a component associated with a failure-caused component replacement within a pre-specified number of runtime hours of the failure-caused component replacement; assigning a non-failure label to each data point associated with a failure-caused component replacement and not within the pre-specified number of runtime hours; assigning a non-failure label to each data point associated with a scheduled component replacement; assigning a non-failure label to each data point associated with an actively running instance of the component as yet to be replaced; estimating a failure probability for the component over a pre-specified future runtime; determining a cumulative hazard function for the component based on the failure probability; and generating a cumulative wear-based indicator for the component by executing a regression function based on the cumulative hazard function.
