Noise-Robust Parameter Estimation Of Linear Systems

Abstract

The parameter estimation problem of linear systems from input output measurements, corrupted with nonwhite noise of unknown covariance, is considered. Under this realistic situation, the least squares parameters estimation is nown to be biased. In this paper, a recursive parameters stimation algorithm, which is unbiased for a wide class of measurement noise, is developed. Monte Carlo simulation results show the effectiveness of the developed parameters' estimator and its superiority over the least squares-based estimator.
