An autoregressive (AR) model based stochastic unknown input realization and filtering technique

This paper studies the state estimation problem of linear discrete-time systems with stochastic unknown inputs. The unknown input is a wide-sense stationary process while no other prior informaton needs to be known. We propose an autoregressive (AR) model based unknown input realization technique which allows us to recover the input statistics from the output data by solving an appropriate least squares problem, then fit an AR model to the recovered input statistics and construct an innovations model of the unknown inputs using the eigensystem realization algorithm (ERA). An augmented state system is constructed and the standard Kalman filter is applied for state estimation. A reduced order model (ROM) filter is also introduced to reduce the computational cost of the Kalman filter. Two numerical examples are given to illustrate the procedure.Comment: 14 page

Integrated adaptive filtering and design for control experiments of flexible structures

A novel method is presented of identifying a state space model and a state estimator for linear stochastic systems from input and output data. The method is primarily based on the relations between the state space model and the finite difference model for linear stochastic systems derived through projection filters. It is proven that least squares identification of a finite difference model converges to the model derived from the projection filters. System pulse response samples are computed from the coefficients of the finite difference model. In estimating the corresponding state estimator gain, a z-domain method is used. First the deterministic component of the output is subtracted out, and then the state estimator gain is obtained by whitening the remaining signal. Experimental example is used to illustrate the feasibility of the method

A Nonparametric Adaptive Nonlinear Statistical Filter

We use statistical learning methods to construct an adaptive state estimator for nonlinear stochastic systems. Optimal state estimation, in the form of a Kalman filter, requires knowledge of the system's process and measurement uncertainty. We propose that these uncertainties can be estimated from (conditioned on) past observed data, and without making any assumptions of the system's prior distribution. The system's prior distribution at each time step is constructed from an ensemble of least-squares estimates on sub-sampled sets of the data via jackknife sampling. As new data is acquired, the state estimates, process uncertainty, and measurement uncertainty are updated accordingly, as described in this manuscript.Comment: Accepted at the 2014 IEEE Conference on Decision and Contro
