Why are sensors with a standard deviation of 0 considered not relevant for the remaining useful life prediction?

These sensors are always constant.

What does a positive skewness value indicate in the distribution of temperature sensor T50?

More high-value outliers.

Why is investigating outliers important in RUL prediction?

Outliers can be due to system faults close to the end of the lifetime.
