Data filtering-based least squares iterative algorithm for Hammerstein nonlinear systems by using the model decomposition

This paper focuses on the iterative identification problems for a class of Hammerstein nonlinear systems. By decomposing the system into two fictitious subsystems, a decomposition-based least squares iterative algorithm is presented for estimating the parameter vector in each subsystem. Moreover, a data filtering-based decomposition least squares iterative algorithm is proposed. The simulation results indicate that the data filtering-based least squares iterative algorithm can generate more accurate parameter estimates than the least squares iterative algorithm

Gradient-based iterative parameter estimation for bilinear-in-parameter systems using the model decomposition technique

The parameter estimation issues of a block-oriented non-linear system that is bilinear in the parameters are studied, i.e. the bilinear-in-parameter system. Using the model decomposition technique, the bilinear-in-parameter model is decomposed into two fictitious submodels: one containing the unknown parameters in the non-linear block and the other containing the unknown parameters in the linear dynamic one and the noise model. Then a gradient-based iterative algorithm is proposed to estimate all the unknown parameters by formulating and minimising two criterion functions. The stochastic gradient algorithms are provided for comparison. The simulation results indicate that the proposed iterative algorithm can give higher parameter estimation accuracy than the stochastic gradient algorithms

Parameter estimation algorithm for multivariable controlled autoregressive autoregressive moving average systems

This paper investigates parameter estimation problems for multivariable controlled autoregressive autoregressive moving average (M-CARARMA) systems. In order to improve the performance of the standard multivariable generalized extended stochastic gradient (M-GESG) algorithm, we derive a partially coupled generalized extended stochastic gradient algorithm by using the auxiliary model. In particular, we divide the identification model into several subsystems based on the hierarchical identification principle and estimate the parameters using the coupled relationship between these subsystems. The simulation results show that the new algorithm can give more accurate parameter estimates of the M-CARARMA system than the M-GESG algorithm

Parameter and State Estimator for State Space Models

This paper proposes a parameter and state estimator for canonical state space systems from measured input-output data. The key is to solve the system state from the state equation and to substitute it into the output equation, eliminating the state variables, and the resulting equation contains only the system inputs and outputs, and to derive a least squares parameter identification algorithm. Furthermore, the system states are computed from the estimated parameters and the input-output data. Convergence analysis using the martingale convergence theorem indicates that the parameter estimates converge to their true values. Finally, an illustrative example is provided to show that the proposed algorithm is effective

Combined Parameter and State Estimation Algorithms for Multivariable Nonlinear Systems Using MIMO Wiener Models

This paper deals with the parameter estimation problem for multivariable nonlinear systems described by MIMO state-space Wiener models. Recursive parameters and state estimation algorithms are presented using the least squares technique, the adjustable model, and the Kalman filter theory. The basic idea is to estimate jointly the parameters, the state vector, and the internal variables of MIMO Wiener models based on a specific decomposition technique to extract the internal vector and avoid problems related to invertibility assumption. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is shown by an illustrative simulation example

Identification of Nonlinear Systems Using the Hammerstein-Wiener Model with Improved Orthogonal Functions

Hammerstein-Wiener systems present a structure consisting of three serial cascade blocks. Two are static nonlinearities, which can be described with nonlinear functions. The third block represents a linear dynamic component placed between the first two blocks. Some of the common linear model structures include a rational-type transfer function, orthogonal rational functions (ORF), finite impulse response (FIR), autoregressive with extra input (ARX), autoregressive moving average with exogenous inputs model (ARMAX), and output-error (O-E) model structure. This paper presents a new structure, and a new improvement is proposed, which is consisted of the basic structure of Hammerstein-Wiener models with an improved orthogonal function of Müntz-Legendre type. We present an extension of generalised Malmquist polynomials that represent Müntz polynomials. Also, a detailed mathematical background for performing improved almost orthogonal polynomials, in combination with Hammerstein-Wiener models, is proposed. The proposed approach is used to identify the strongly nonlinear hydraulic system via the transfer function. To compare the results obtained, well-known orthogonal functions of the Legendre, Chebyshev, and Laguerre types are exploited

Recursive search-based identification algorithms for the exponential autoregressive time series model with coloured noise

This study focuses on the recursive parameter estimation problems for the non-linear exponential autoregressive model with moving average noise (the ExpARMA model for short). By means of the gradient search, an extended stochastic gradient (ESG) algorithm is derived. Considering the difficulty of determining the step-size in the ESG algorithm, a numerical approach is proposed to obtain the optimal step-size. In order to improve the parameter estimation accuracy, the authors employ the multi-innovation identification theory to develop a multi-innovation ESG (MI-ESG) algorithm for the ExpARMA model. Introducing a forgetting factor into the MI-ESG algorithm, the parameter estimation accuracy can be further improved. With an appropriate innovation length and forgetting factor, the variant of the MI-ESG algorithm is effective to identify all the unknown parameters of the ExpARMA model. A simulation example is provided to test the proposed algorithms

Biased compensation recursive least squares-based threshold algorithm for time-delay rational models via redundant rule

© 2017, Springer Science+Business Media B.V., part of Springer Nature. This paper develops a biased compensation recursive least squares-based threshold algorithm for a time-delay rational model. The time-delay rational model is transformed into an augmented model by using the redundant rule, and then, a recursive least squares algorithm is proposed to estimate the parameters of the augmented model. Since the output of the augmented model is correlated with the noise, a biased compensation method is derived to eliminate the bias of the parameter estimates. Furthermore, based on the structures of the augmented model parameter vector and the rational model parameter vector, the unknown time delay can be computed by using a threshold given in prior. A simulated example is used to illustrate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm

Hierarchical gradient- and least squares-based iterative algorithms for input nonlinear output-error systems using the key term separation

This paper considers the parameter identification problems of the input nonlinear output-error (IN-OE) systems, that is the Hammerstein output-error systems. In order to overcome the excessive calculation amount of the over-parameterization method of the IN-OE systems. Through applying the hierarchial identification principle and decomposing the IN-OE system into three subsystems with a smaller number of parameters, we present the key term separation auxiliary model hierarchical gradient-based iterative algorithm and the key term separation auxiliary model hierarchical least squares-based iterative algorithm, which are called the key term separation auxiliary model three-stage gradient-based iterative algorithm and the key term separation auxiliary model three-stage least squares-based iterative algorithm. The comparison of the calculation amount and the simulation analysis indicate that the proposed algorithms are effective. (c) 2021 The Franklin Institute. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
