Abstract

This paper addresses the benefits of pooling data for shared learning in maintenance operations. We consider a set of systems subject to Poisson degradation that are coupled through an a-priori unknown rate. Decision problems involving these systems are high-dimensional Markov decision processes (MDPs). We present a decomposition result that reduces such an MDP to two-dimensional MDPs, enabling structural analyses and computations. We leverage this decomposition to demonstrate that pooling data can lead to significant cost reductions compared to not pooling.
