چکیده

The expectation maximisation (EM) algorithm has proven to be e ective for a range of identi cation problems. Unfortunately, the way in which the EM algorithm has previously been applied has proven unsuitable for the commonly employed innovations form model structure. This paper addresses this problem, and presents a previously unexamined method of EM algorithm employment. The results are pro led, which indicate that a hybrid EM/gradient-search technique may in some cases outperform either a pure EM or a pure gradient-based search approach.

System Identification of Nonlinear State-Space Models, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2977

This paper is concerned with the parameter estimation of a general class of nonlinear dynamic systems in state-space form. More speci cally, a Maximum Likelihood (ML) framework is employed and an Expectation Maximisation (EM) algorithm is derived to compute these ML estimates. The Expectation (E) step involves solving a nonlinear state estimation problem, where the smoothed estimates of the sta...

Particle Filter Approach to Nonlinear System Identification under Missing Observations with a Real Application, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2895

This article reviews authors' recently developed algorithm for identi cation of nonlinear state-space models under missing observations and extends it to the case of unknown model structure. In order to estimate the parameters in a state-space model, one needs to know the model structure and have an estimate of states. If the model structure is unknown, an approximation of it is obtained using ...

Maximum Likelihood Estimation in Mixed Linear/Nonlinear State-Space Models, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2958

The primary contribution of this paper is an algorithm capable of identifying parameters in certain mixed linear/nonlinear state-space models, containing conditionally linear Gaussian substructures. More speci cally, we employ the standard maximum likelihood framework and derive an expectation maximization type algorithm. This involves a nonlinear smoothing problem for the state variables, whic...

Wiener system identification using the maximum likelihood method, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2990

The Wiener model is a block oriented model where a linear dynamic system block is followed by a static nonlinearity block. The dominant method to estimate these components has been to minimize the error between the simulated and the measured outputs. This is known to lead to biased estimates if disturbances other than measurement noise are present. For the case of more general disturbances we p...

An Explanation of the Expectation Maximization Algorithm, Report no. LiTH-ISY-R-2915

The expectation maximization (EM) algorithm computes maximum likelihood estimates of unknown parameters in probabilistic models involving latent variables. More pragmatically speaking, the EM algorithm is an iterative method that alternates between computing a conditional expectation and solving a maximization problem, hence the name expectation maximization. We will in this work derive the EM ...
