8.1.2 Identification Using Input-Output Data (Subspace System Identification Method)

The method implemented here is due to Moonen, De Moor, Vandenberghe, and Vandewalle (1989). The method is based on the singular value decomposition of the Hankel matrix , where and are defined directly from the input and output data as follows:

,

If the input is persistently exciting of order , then the systems of order are identifiable. The best results are obtained when the input is white noise. When the number of available measurements is large, so that , system identification becomes robust with respect to the measurement errors.

Time-domain system identification using the output response.

All the options of the function ImpulseResponseIdentify can be used and they have the same meaning.
