I am trying to understand the relation between cycles_since_new in train dataset and cycles in test dataset
cycles_since_new is the value given since the engine is new
what about cycles in test dataset ? Is the cycle value reset to 0 or is this also for new engine ?
cycles_since_new are the number of cycles an engine goes through in it’s life (since new). Cycles in the test data set are obfuscated. The test windows are a random snapshot in an engine’s life and cycle starts at zero on that snapshop, but this is likely not the beginning of the engine’s life.
We also appreciate that clarification. Just to clarify further, does that mean that maintenance events might occur during the period covered by the test windows?
