Non-Asymptotic Confidence Ellipsoids For The Least Squares Estimate

Authors:

Erik Weyer, Marco C. Campi,

Volume: 1, Page 2688 Paper number 1382

Abstract:

In this paper we consider the finite sample properties of least squares system identification, and we derive non-asymptotic confidence ellipsoids for the estimate. Unlike asymptotic theory, the obtained confidence ellipsoids are valid for a finite number of data points. The probability that the estimate belongs to a certain ellipsoid has a natural dependence on the volume of the ellipsoid, the data generating mechanism, the model order and the number of data points available.

Uncertainty, Information and Complexity in Identification and Control

Authors:

Le Yi Wang,

Volume: 1, Page 2694 Paper number 1509

Abstract:

The relationship between information acquisition (identification) and information processing (control) in their capability of dealing with uncertainty is studied. It is revealed that such a relationship can be established rigorously from the viewpoint of complexity. A notion of information-based complexity is hence introduced, first in its generality, and then in its special applications to metric spaces in feedback control systems.

Generalized LQG Design by Filter and Controller Model Selection

Authors:

Thomas E. Brehm, Peter S. Maybeck,

Volume: 1, Page 2700 Paper number 1090

Abstract:

This paper investigates a generalization of the conventional approach to LQG control design. First we investigate removing the assumption that the Kalman filter as the observer is necessarily based on the same model as the best plant model. The controller gain matrix design is performed as usual, based on the optimal solution to the deterministic design for the best model of the real-world plant. For the next case, we also remove this controller design restriction to investigate robustness to uncertainties in the plant model. The filter and controller gain matrices are both determined by models possibly other than the plant model. We relate the plant model to the filter and controller design models by a position correlation (mean square error on output) measure in order to determine optimal performance.

Windowed Periodograms And Moving Average Models

Authors:

Piet M.T. Broersen, Stijn de Waele,

Volume: 1, Page 2706 Paper number 1425

Abstract:

A windowed and tapered periodogram can be computed as the Fourier transform of an estimated covariance function of tapered data, multiplied by a lag window. Covariances of finite length can also be modeled as moving average (MA) time series models. The direct equivalence between periodograms and MA models is shown in the method of moments for MA estimation. A better MA representation for the covariance and the spectral density is found with Durbin's improved MA method. That uses the parameters of a long autoregressive (AR) model to find MA models, followed by automatic selection of the MA order. A comparison is made between the two MA model types. The best of many MA models from windowed periodograms is compared to the single selected MA model obtained with Durbin's method. The latter typically has a better quality.

Unbiased Identification of Stochastic Linear Systems from Noisy Input and Output Measurements

Authors:

Wei Xing Zheng,

Volume: 1, Page 2710 Paper number 1238

Abstract:

This paper is concerned with identification of stochastic linear systems from noisy input and output measurements. A modified scheme that employs extra delayed noisy measurements is derived to estimate the variances of white input and output noises. These estimated noise variances are then applied for removal of the bias from a least-squares parameter estimate via an iterative procedure to achieve estimation consistency. The new identification algorithm incorporated with this modified estimation scheme for the noise variances demonstrates greatly improved performances. Compared with the previously developed method, the new identification algorithm can converge at a much faster rate and produce much more accurate parameter estimates at only a slightly increased numerical cost. The theoretical predictions are confirmed through Monte-Carlo stochastic simulation studies.

On Model Quality Evaluation of Stable LTI Systems

Authors:

Soosan Beheshti, Munther A. Dahleh,

Volume: 1, Page 2716 Paper number 1790

Abstract:

The problem of quantifying the error in estimation of low-complexity models for stable linear time-invariant(LTI) systems is investigated. We elaborate on the advantages of implementing a new method for order selection of the model class.
