A new bias-compensating least-squares method for continuous-time MIMO system identification applied to a laboratory-scale process

Abstract

This paper presents a new bias-compensating least-squares method for the identification of continuous-time transfer function matrix model of multi-input multi-output (MIMO) systems. The proposed method uses the generalised Poisson moment functional approach for handling time derivatives and is applied to the identification of a laboratory-scale process which simulates industrial material transport control problems. Model validation results show the potentiality of the proposed method in practical applications.<>
