Abstract
In this paper, a fast identification algorithm for nonlinear dynamic stochastic system identification is presented. The algorithm extends the classical Orthogonal Forward Regression (OFR) algorithm so that instead of using the Error Reduction Ratio (ERR) for term selection, a new optimality criterion —Shannon’s Entropy Power Reduction Ratio(EPRR) is introduced to deal with both Gaussian and non-Gaussian signals. It is shown that the new algorithm is both fast and reliable and examples are provided to illustrate the effectiveness of the new approach
