Decomposition-based recursive least squares identification methods for multivariate pseudo-linear systems using the multi-innovation

© 2018 Informa UK Limited, trading as Taylor & Francis Group. This paper studies the parameter estimation algorithms of multivariate pseudo-linear autoregressive systems. A decomposition-based recursive generalised least squares algorithm is deduced for estimating the system parameters by decomposing the multivariate pseudo-linear autoregressive system into two subsystems. In order to further improve the parameter accuracy, a decomposition based multi-innovation recursive generalised least squares algorithm is developed by means of the multi-innovation theory. The simulation results confirm that these two algorithms are effective

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

Least squares-based iterative identification methods for linear-in-parameters systems using the decomposition technique

By extending the least squares-based iterative (LSI) method, this paper presents a decomposition-based LSI (D-LSI) algorithm for identifying linear-in-parameters systems and an interval-varying D-LSI algorithm for handling the identification problems of missing-data systems. The basic idea is to apply the hierarchical identification principle to decompose the original system into two fictitious sub-systems and then to derive new iterative algorithms to estimate the parameters of each sub-system. Compared with the LSI algorithm and the interval-varying LSI algorithm, the decomposition-based iterative algorithms have less computational load. The numerical simulation results demonstrate that the proposed algorithms work quite well

Separable recursive gradient algorithm for dynamical systems based on the impulse response signals

The identification for process control systems is considered in this paper based on the impulse response signals from the discrete measurements. By taking advantage of impulse signals and through the model parameter decomposition, two dependent identification models are constructed and two identification sub-algorithms are presented based on the nonlinear gradient optimization. In terms of the associated items of the parameters to be estimated between two derived sub-algorithms, a separable recursive gradient parameter estimation method is proposed by designing an interactive and recursive estimation. The performance tests and the comparison experiments are carried out by the simulation examples

State filtering and parameter estimation for two input two output systems with time delay

This paper focuses on presenting a new identification algorithm to estimate the parameters and state variables for two-input two-output dynamic systems with time delay based on canonical state space models. First, the related input-output equation is determined and transformed into an identification oriented model, which does not involve in the unmeasurable states, and then a residual based least squares identification algorithm is presented for the estimations. After the parameters being estimated, the system states are subsequently estimated by using the estimated parameters. Through theoretical analysis, the convergence of the algorithm is derived to provide assurance for applicability. Finally, a selected simulation example is given for a meaningful case study to show the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm

Partially coupled gradient estimation algorithm for multivariable equation-error autoregressive moving average systems using the data filtering technique

System identification provides many convenient and useful methods for engineering modelling. This study targets the parameter identification problems for multivariable equation-error autoregressive moving average systems. To reduce the influence of the coloured noises on the parameter estimation, the data filtering technique is adopted to filter the input and output data, and to transform the original system into a filtered system with white noises. Then the filtered system is decomposed into several subsystems and a filtering-based partially-coupled generalised extended stochastic gradient algorithm is developed via the coupling concept. In contrast to the multivariable generalised extended stochastic gradient algorithm, the proposed algorithm can give more accurate parameter estimates. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm is well demonstrated by simulation examples

Combined Invariant Subspace \& Frequency-Domain Subspace Method for Identification of Discrete-Time MIMO Linear Systems

Recently, a novel system identification method based on invariant subspace theory is introduced, aiming to address the identification problem of continuous-time (CT) linear time-invariant (LTI) systems by combining time-domain and frequency-domain methods. Subsequently, the combined Invariant-Subspace and Subspace Identification Method (cISSIM) is introduced, enabling direct estimation of CT LTI systems in state-space forms. It produces consistent estimation that is robust in an error-in-variable and slow-sampling conditions, while no pre-filtering operation of the input-output signals is needed. This paper presents the discrete-cISSIM, which extends cISSIM to discrete-time (DT) systems and offers the following improvements: 1) the capability to utilize arbitrary discrete periodic excitations while cISSIM uses multi-sine signals; 2) a faster estimation with reduced computational complexity is proposed; 3) the covariance estimation problem can be addressed concurrently with the system parameter estimation. An implementation of discrete-cISSIM by MATLAB has also been provided.Comment: algorithm implemented via MATLAB: https://github.com/wyqy/dcissi
