Inversion of non-linear stochastic models for the purpose of parameter estimation

From MaRDI portal





Estimation methods (such as the maximum likelihood (ML) method and the prediction error method) of nonlinear stochastic models require inversion of the model, which can be quite a difficult task. In this paper the authors show that model inversion can be implemented in numerical software by means of a feedback connection based on the model. Using the feedback configuration this inversion can be done without involving an equation solver if the model can be partitioned as a linear part in parallel with a nonlinear part where the time-delay in the nonlinear part is larger than in the linear one. Another benefit of the feedback structure is that the computation of the derivatives, used for optimization of the cost function, can be implemented as a linear time-varying filter. The feedback configuration was used in ML estimation on two numerical examples.
