Remaining Useful Life Estimation for Turbofan Engines: A Comparative Study of Classical, CNN, and LSTM Approaches

arXiv CS.LG

ArXi:2604.27234v1 Announce Type: new Remaining Useful Life (RUL) estimation is a critical component of Prognostics and Health Management (PHM), enabling proactive maintenance scheduling and reducing unplanned failures in industrial equipment. This paper presents a comparative study of machine learning approaches for RUL estimation on the NASA C-MAPSS turbofan engine dataset: classical baselines (Ridge Regression, Polynomial Ridge, and XGBoost), a 1D Convolutional Neural Network (CNN), and a Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) network.
