Abstract
The off-line estimation of the parameters of continuous-time, linear, time-invariant transfer function models can be achieved straightforwardly using linear prefilters on the measured input and output of the system. The on-line estimation of continuous-time models with time-varying parameters is less straightforward because it requires the updating of the continuous-time prefilter parameters. This paper shows how such on-line estimation is possible by using recursive instrumental variable approaches. The proposed methods are presented in detail and also evaluated on a numerical example using both single experiment and Monte Carlo simulation analysis. In addition, the proposed recursive algorithms are tested using data from two real-life systems.
