Algorithm 2 Posterior-Weighted RUL Estimation.
Require: Estimated parameters Θ^; absorbing state K; observed degradation trajectory {yit}t=1Ti for a new unit i.
  • 1:

    Emission Evaluation:

    •   Compute Gaussian emission densities bk(yit) for all t=1,,Ti and k=1,,K using the linear emission model in (1).

  • 2:

    Forward–Backward Recursions:

    •   Run the scaled forward and backward recursions ((6)–(8)) to obtain αit(k) and βit(k).

    •   Compute smoothed posteriors γit(k) via (9).

  • 3:

    Fundamental Matrix:

    •   Extract the transient submatrix Q=P^1:(K1),1:(K1).

    •   Compute the fundamental matrix F=(IK1Q)1.

  • 4:

    Compute RUL Path:

    •   For each t=1,,Ti, evaluate
      RUL^i(t)=γitF1K1
      using (34).
  • 5:

    return Full trajectory {RUL^i(t)}t=1Ti and the current estimate RUL^i(Ti).
