Zeng, Cheng (author), Huang, Jinsong (author), Wang, H. (author), Xie, Jiawei (author), Zhang, Yuting (author)Reliable estimation of rail useful lifetime can provide valuable information for predictive maintenance in railway systems. However, in most cases, lifetime data is incomplete because not all pieces of rail experience failure by the end of the study horizon, a problem known as censoring. Ignoring or otherwise mistreating the censored cases...journal article 2023
