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

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.

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

State filtering-based least squares parameter estimation for bilinear systems using the hierarchical identification principle

This study presents a combined parameter and state estimation algorithm for a bilinear system described by its observer canonical state-space model based on the hierarchical identification principle. The Kalman filter is known as the best state filter for linear systems, but not applicable for bilinear systems. Thus, a bilinear state observer (BSO) is designed to give the state estimates using the extremum principle. Then a BSO-based recursive least squares (BSO-RLS) algorithm is developed. For comparison with the BSO-RLS algorithm, by dividing the system into three fictitious subsystems on the basis of the decomposition–coordination principle, a BSO-based hierarchical least squares algorithm is proposed to reduce the computation burden. Moreover, a BSO-based forgetting factor recursive least squares algorithm is presented to improve the parameter tracking capability. Finally, a numerical example illustrates the effectiveness of the proposed algorithms

Multi-Innovation Stochastic Gradient Identification Algorithm for Hammerstein Controlled Autoregressive Autoregressive Systems Based on the Key Term Separation Principle and on the Model Decomposition

An input nonlinear system is decomposed into two subsystems, one including the parameters of the system model and the other including the parameters of the noise model, and a multi-innovation stochastic gradient algorithm is presented for Hammerstein controlled autoregressive autoregressive (H-CARAR) systems based on the key term separation principle and on the model decomposition, in order to improve the convergence speed of the stochastic gradient algorithm. The key term separation principle can simplify the identification model of the input nonlinear system, and the decomposition technique can enhance computational efficiencies of identification algorithms. The simulation results show that the proposed algorithm is effective for estimating the parameters of IN-CARAR systems

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

Open Mathematics is a challenging notion for theoretical modeling, technical analysis, and numerical simulation in physics and mathematics, as well as in many other fields, as highly correlated nonlinear phenomena, evolving over a large range of time scales and length scales, control the underlying systems and processes in their spatiotemporal evolution.
