Least squares based and gradient based iterative identification for Wiener nonlinear systems

This paper derives a least squares-based and a gradient-based iterative identification algorithms for Wiener nonlinear systems. These methods separate one bilinear cost function into two linear cost functions, estimating directly the parameters of Wiener systems without re-parameterization to generate redundant estimates. The simulation results confirm that the proposed two algorithms are valid and the least squares-based iterative algorithm has faster convergence rates than the gradient-based iterative algorithm. & 2010 Elsevier B.V.
