Journal ArticleDOI

System identification of nonlinear state-space models

TL;DR: A Maximum Likelihood (ML) framework is employed and an Expectation Maximisation (EM) algorithm is derived to compute these ML estimates, which lend itself perfectly to the particle smoother, which provides arbitrarily good estimates.
Journal ArticleDOI

A unifying construction of orthonormal bases for system identification

TL;DR: This construction provides a unifying formulation of many previously studied orthonormal bases since the common FIR and recently popular Laguerre and two-parameter Kautz model structures are restrictive special cases of the construction presented here.
Journal ArticleDOI

Quantifying the error in estimated transfer functions with application to model order selection

TL;DR: The paper concludes by showing how the obtained error bounds can be used for intelligent model order selection that takes into account both measurement noise and under-model- ing.
Journal ArticleDOI

Modelling and Identification with Rational Orthogonal Basis Functions

TL;DR: A recently developed general theory for basis construction will be presented, that is a generalization of the classical Laguerre theory, particularly exploiting the property that basis function models are linearly parametrized.
Journal ArticleDOI

Robust maximum-likelihood estimation of multivariable dynamic systems

TL;DR: The theoretical and empirical evidence presented here establishes additional attractive properties such as numerical robustness, avoidance of difficult parametrization choices, the ability to naturally and easily estimate non-zero initial conditions, and moderate computational cost.
