generating a plurality of estimated remaining life outputs, wherein each of the estimated remaining life outputs is generated using a respective one of the diverse models;

aggregating the estimated remaining life outputs via a fusion model;

in response to the aggregating, predicting the remaining life of the probe, the predicted remaining life having reduced uncertainty bounds based on the aggregating;

generating a signal corresponding to the predicted remaining life of the probe; and

defining at least one of a parameter and a structure of the fusion model, wherein the defining step comprises:

defining the parameter of the fusion model, the parameter comprising a weight corresponding to each of the diverse models, wherein the step of defining the parameter comprises:

making available input conditions describing more than one region of a feature space; and

defining a local weight corresponding to each of the more than one regions of the feature space.
