Some Experimental Results on the Statistical Properties O F Least Squares Estimates in Control Problems'

چکیده
The statistical properties of the certainty equivalence control rule and of the least squares estimates generated by this rule are examined experimentally in a linear model with two unknown parameters. It is found that the least squares certainty equivalence rule converges to its true value with probability one and is asymptotically efficient, having an asymptotic distribution with a variance as small as any other strongly consistent rule. However, while a linear combination of the parameter estimates is consistent, the evidence does not confirm that the individual estimates themselves are consistent. If these converge to their true values at all, they do so very slowly (on the order of (log t ) I ) .

A Least Squares Approach to Estimating the Average Reservoir Pressure
Least squares method (LSM) is an accurate and rapid method for solving some analytical and numerical problems. This method can be used to estimate the average reservoir pressure in well test analysis. In fact, it may be employed to estimate parameters such as permeability (k) and pore volume (Vp). Regarding this point, buildup, drawdown, late transient test data, modified Muskat method, interfe...
متن کاملSuperlinearly convergent exact penalty projected structured Hessian updating schemes for constrained nonlinear least squares: asymptotic analysis
We present a structured algorithm for solving constrained nonlinear least squares problems, and establish its local two-step Q-superlinear convergence. The approach is based on an adaptive structured scheme due to Mahdavi-Amiri and Bartels of the exact penalty method of Coleman and Conn for nonlinearly constrained optimization problems. The structured adaptation also makes use of the ideas of N...
متن کاملOn Critical Stability of Discrete-Time Adaptive Nonlinear Control
In this paper, we examine the global stability and instability problems for a class of discrete-time adaptive nonlinear stochastic control. The systems to be controlled may exhibit chaotic behavior and are assumed to be linear in unknown parameters but nonlinear in output dynamics, which are characterized by a nonlinear function [say, f(x)]. It is found and proved that in the scalar parameter c...
متن کاملSome Modifications to Calculate Regression Coefficients in Multiple Linear Regression
In a multiple linear regression model, there are instances where one has to update the regression parameters. In such models as new data become available, by adding one row to the design matrix, the least-squares estimates for the parameters must be updated to reflect the impact of the new data. We will modify two existing methods of calculating regression coefficients in multiple linear regres...
متن کاملClassical and Bayesian Inference in Two Parameter Exponential Distribution with Randomly Censored Data
Abstract. This paper deals with the classical and Bayesian estimation for two parameter exponential distribution having scale and location parameters with randomly censored data. The censoring time is also assumed to follow a two parameter exponential distribution with different scale but same location parameter. The main stress is on the location parameter in this paper. This parameter has not...
