摘要:AbstractThe paper presents an algorithm for the identification ofPieceWise Affine Output-Error(PWA-OE) models, which involves the estimation of the parameters defining affine submodels as well as a partition of the regressor space. For the estimation of affine submodel parameters, a bias-correction scheme is presented to correct the bias in the least squares estimates which is caused by the output-error noise structure. The obtained bias-corrected estimates are proven to be consistent under suitable assumptions. The bias-correction method is then combined with a recursive estimation algorithm for clustering the regressors. These clusters are used to compute a partition of the regressor space by employing linear multi-category discrimination. The effectiveness of the proposed methodology is demonstrated via a simulation case study.
