description The Proportional Hazards Model (PHM) under a Condition-Based Maintenance (CBM) policy is used by asset-intensive industries to predict failure rate, reliability function, and maintenance decisions based on vital covariates data. Cox’s partial likelihood optimization is a method to assess the weight of time and conditions into the hazard rate; however, parameter estimation with diverse covariates problem could have multiple and feasible solutions. Therefore, the boundary assessment and the initial value strategy are critical matters to consider. This paper analyzes innovative non/semi-parametric approaches to address this problem. Specifically, we incorporate IPCRidge for defining boundaries and use Gradient Boosting and Random Forest for estimating seed values for covariates weighting. When applied to a real case study, the integration of data scaling streamlines the handling of condition data with diverse orders of magnitude and units. This enhancement simplifies the modeling process and ensures a more comprehensive and accurate underlying data analysis. Finally, the proposed method shows an innovative path for assessing condition weights and Weibull parameters with data-driven approaches and advanced algorithms, increasing the robustness of non-convex log-likelihood optimization, and strengthening the PHM model with multiple covariates by easing its interpretation for predictive maintenance purposes.
