Bounding approach to parameter estimation without prior knowledge on modeling error and application to quality modeling in drinking water distribution systems
PublikacjaW artykule rozważana jest estymacja parametrów modelu autoregresji z ruchoma średnią i sygnałem wejściowym (ARMAX) z wykorzystaniem przedziałowego modelu błędu. Zakłada się, że granice błędu struktury modelu są nieznane, bądź znane, ale bardzo konserwatywne. Dla zmniejszenia tego konserwatyzmu proponowane jest idea modeli punktowo-parametrycznych, w której występują zbiory parametrów i błędu modelu odpowiadające wszystkim wejściom....
