Parameter and State Estimator for State Space Models

Abstract EN

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.
