TECHNIQUES OF SYSTEM IDENTIFICATION. LECTURE NOTES,

In applying optimal control ideas to practical systems and particularly as such applications embrace an ever-increasing class of systems, it is often the case that the kind of description demanded by that theory is not available or is incomplete, and must be deduced from external measurements. The general problem that this leads to is the identification of a system from input-output measurements and is important in areas outside engineering such as economics, physiology, etc. This course will deal with the techniques of system identification as applied to engineering industrial problems.
