    Identification of multichannel AR models with additive noise: A Frisch scheme approach

    No full text
    A new approach for estimating multichannel AR (M-AR) models from noisy observations is proposed. It relies on the so-called Frisch scheme, whose rationale consists in finding the solution of the identification problem within a locus of solutions compatible with the second order statistics of the noisy data. Once that the locus of solutions has been defined, it is necessary to introduce a suitable selection criterion in order to identify a single solution. The criterion proposed in the paper is based on the comparison of the theoretical statistical properties of the residual of the noisy M-AR model with those computed from the data. The results obtained by means of Monte Carlo simulations show that the proposed algorithm outperforms some existing methods

    A three-step identification procedure for ARARX models with additive measurement noise

    No full text
    This paper concerns the identification of extended ARARX models that consider also an additive white noise affecting the output. This model allows to take into account the presence of both a process disturbance and an additive measurement noise. A three-step identification procedure is described for identifying the extended ARARX model. The first step consists in an iterative bias-compensated least squares algorithm while the subsequent steps are based on simple (non-iterative) least squares equations. Simulation results are included to show the effectiveness of the proposed method

    Identification of noisy input-output FIR models with colored output noise

    Full text link
    This paper deals with the identification of FIR models corrupted by white input noise and colored output noise. An identification algorithm that exploits the properties of both the dynamic Frisch scheme and the high-order Yule-Walker (HOYW) equations is proposed. It is shown how the HOYW equations allow to define a selection criterion for identifying the input noise variance (and then the FIR coefficients) within the Frisch locus of solutions. The proposed approach does not require any a priori knowledge about the input and output noise variances. The algorithm performance is assessed by means of Monte Carlo simulations

    Identification of residual generators for fault detection of linear dynamic models

    No full text
    Classical model-based fault detection schemes for linear multivariable systems require the definition of suitable residual functions. This paper shows the possibility of identifying residual generators even when the system model is unknown, by following a black-box approach. The result is obtained by using canonical input-output polynomial forms which lead to characterise in a straightforward fashion the basis of the subspace described by all possible residual generators. The performance of the proposed identification method is tested by means of Monte Carlo simulations

    Recursive identification of errors-in-variables models with correlated output noise

    Abstract: The identification of Errors-in-variables (EIV) models refers to systems where the available The identification of Errors-in-variables (EIV) models refers to systems where the available measurements of their inputs and outputs are corrupted by additive noise. A large variety of solutions are available when dealing with this estimation problem, in particular when the corrupting noises are white processes. However, the number of available solutions decreases when the output noise is assumed as a colored process, which is a case of great practical interest. On the other hand, many applications require estimation algorithms to work on-line, tracking a dynamical system behavior for control, signal processing, or diagnosis. In many cases, they even have to take into account computational constraints. In this paper, we propose an estimation method that is able to both lay out an algorithm to solve the identification problem of EIV systems with arbitrarily correlated output nois

    Residual Generation Design for Dynamic System Fault Detection

    No full text
    This paper investigates few minor new results regarding the computation of residual generator functions in order to realise for example complete diagnosis schemes in linear multivariable systems with additive faults and disturbances. The use of canonical input-output polynomial forms leads to characterise in a straightforward fashion the basis of the subspace described by all the possible residual generators. These tools show how the mathematical description of these filters can be obtained also by following a black-box identification approach

    Kullback-Leibler and Rényi divergence rate for Gaussian stationary ARMA processes comparison

    Full text link
    In signal processing, ARMA processes are widely used to model short-memory processes. In various applications, comparing or classifying ARMA processes is required. In this paper, our purpose is to provide analytical expressions of the divergence rates of the Kullback-Leibler divergence, the Rényi divergence (RD) of order αand their symmetric versions for two Gaussian ARMA processes, by taking advantage of results such as the Yule-Walker equations and notions such as inverse filtering. The divergence rates can be interpreted as the sum of different quantities: power of one ARMA process filtered by the inverse filter associated with the second ARMA process, cepstrum, etc. Finally, illustrations show that the ranges of values taken by the divergence rates of the RD are sensitive to α, especially when the latter is close to1

    The Frisch scheme in multivariable errors-in-variables identification

    No full text
    This paper concerns the identification of multivariable errors-in-variables (EIV) models, i.e. models where all inputs and outputs are assumed as affected by additive errors. The identification of MIMO EIV models introduces challenges not present in SISO and MISO cases. The approach proposed in the paper is based on the extension of the dynamic Frisch scheme to the MIMO case. In particular, the described identification procedure relies on the association of EIV models with directions in the noise space and on the properties of a set of high order YuleâWalker equations. A method for estimating the system structure is also described

    Identification of errors-in-variables models with colored output noise

    No full text
    This paper deals with the problem of identifying linear errors-in-variables (EIV) models corrupted by white noise on the input and colored noise on the output. This allows to take into account the presence of both measurement errors and process disturbances. The proposed approach is based on a nonlinear system of equations whose unkowns are the system parameters and the input noise variance. The obtained set of equations allows mapping the EIV identification problem into a quadratic eigenvalue problem that, in turn, can be mapped into a linear generalized eigenvalue problem. The performance of the proposed approach is illustrated by means of Monte Carlo simulations and compared with those of existing techniques

    Residual generation and disturbance de-coupling for a chemical process

    No full text
    The paper presents some results concerning fault diagnosis for dynamic processes using dynamic system identification and disturbance de--coupling techniques. The first step of the considered approach consists of exploiting input--output descriptions of the monitored system. In particular, the disturbance term of that model can be used to take into account unknown inputs affecting the system. The next step of the scheme leads to define a set of relations that can be used as residual signals since they are insensitive to the disturbance term. The proposed fault diagnosis scheme has been tested on an real industrial chemical process in the presence of sensor, actuator and component faults. The results and concluding remarks have been finally reported
