“…Out of the three parameters (r, 91, and q 2 ) that typically appear in a design with one output and two states, the ratios ql/r and qdr were shown to govern the behavior of the estimator for a given chemical component. Because the input noise, w1, is fictitious and is introduced to model unknown variables, these two ratios are in principle adjustable parameters (Dalla Molle and Himmelblau, 1987). We have shown that using elements of control theory and stochastic systems theory they can be simply and uniquely determined.…”
