Abstract

In this paper, the problems of parameter estimation are addressed for systems with scarce measurements. A gradient-based algorithm is derived to estimate the parameters of the input-output representation with scarce measurements, and the convergence properties of the parameter estimation and unavailable output estimation are established using the Kronecker lemma and the deterministic version of the martingale convergence theorem. Finally, an example is provided to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
