Regarding RUL,

Can you clarify what you mean by: “The RUL estimate is implicit”.

I am under the impression that RUL is the number of cuts remaining until failure, given a fixed failure threshold, and given survival up until a certain earlier cut.

For example, given observed data from a test tool, up until say the 100th cut, then ask the question: what is the remaining useful life? Or alternatively, how many more cuts until failure?

Thanks
