Abstract

Subspace-based algorithms for system identification have lately been suggested as alternatives to more traditional techniques. Variants of the MOESP type of subspace algorithms are in addition to open-loop identification applicable to closed-loop and errors-in-variables identification. In this paper, a new instrumental variable approach to subspace identification is presented. It is shown how existing MOESP-algorithms can be derived within the proposed framework, simply by changing instruments and weighting matrices. A noteworthy outcome of the analysis is that an improvement of an existing MOESP method for errors-in-variables identification can be proposed.
