摘要:AbstractAn estimated state-space model can possibly be improved by further iterations with estimation data. This contribution specifically studies if models obtained by subspace estimation can be improved by subsequent re-estimation of theB,C, andDmatrices (which involves linear estimation problems). Several tests are performed, which show that it is generally advisable to do such further re-estimation steps using the maximum likelihood criterion. Stated more succinctly in terms of MATLAB® functions, ssest generally outperforms n4sid.
