The least-squares method is one of the most efficient and simple identification methods commonly used. Unfortunately, it is very sensitive to large errors (outliers) in the input/output data. In such cases, it may never converge or give erroneous results. In earlier work, based on the minimax principle, a robust least-squares version has been proposed, but it is only suitable for linear systems. In practice, most real systems are nonlinear. Many of these can be suitably represented by bilinear models. In the paper, a robust recursive least-squares method has been proposed for bilinear system identification. It differs from earlier approaches in that it uses modified weights in the criterion for robustness. A theorem proving the convergence of the proposed algorithm is included. Results of the simulation demonstrating the robustness of the proposed algorithm are also included.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
