As with most maturing disciplines, PHM does not yet have a universally accepted research methodology. As a result, most component life estimation efforts are based on ad-hoc experimental methods that lack statistical rigor. In this paper, we provide a critical review of current research methods in PHM and contrast these methods with standard research approaches in a more established discipline (medicine). We summarize the developmental steps required for PHM to reach full maturity and to generate actionable results with true business impact.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "2008_IEEEPHM_ResearchMethods.pdf", "downloadURL": "https://c3.nasa.gov/dashlink/static/media/publication/2008_IEEEPHM_ResearchMethods.pdf", "format": "PDF", "mediaType": "application/pdf", "title": "2008_IEEEPHM_ResearchMethods.pdf"}], "identifier": "DASHLINK_736", "issued": "2013-05-13", "keyword": ["ames", "dashlink", "nasa"], "landingPage": "https://c3.nasa.gov/dashlink/resources/736/", "modified": "2025-03-31", "programCode": ["026:029"], "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "Dashlink"}, "title": "Standardizing Research Methods for Prognostics"}
