Abstract
An algorithm is proposed for simultaneous estimation of model parameters, process disturbance intensities, and measurement noise variances for nonlinear dynamic systems that are described by stochastic differential equations. The proposed fully-Laplace approximation expectation maximization (FLAEM) algorithm uses an iterative approach wherein, in the first step, the model parameters are estimated using the approximate maximum likelihood estimation objective function developed by Varziri et al.,1 assuming that disturbance intensities and noise variances are known. In the second step, process disturbance intensities and measurement noise variance estimates are updated using expressions that rely on the fully-Laplace approximation in the expectation maximization algorithm. The proposed FLAEM method is illustrated using a nonlinear two-state continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR) example. The effectiveness of the FLAEM algorithm is compared with a maximum-likelihood based method proposed by Kristensen et al.2...
