Joint Estimation of States and Parameters for an Input Nonlinear State-Space System with Colored Noise Using the Filtering Technique

Abstract

This paper concerns the state and parameter estimation problem for an input nonlinear state-space system with colored noise. By using the data filtering and the over-parameterization technique, we transform the original nonlinear state-space system into two identification models with filtered states: one containing the system parameters and the other containing the noise model's parameters. A combined state and parameter estimation algorithm is developed for identifying the state-space system. The key is that the estimation of system parameters uses the estimated states, and the estimation of states uses the preceding parameter estimates. A simulation example is provided to show that the proposed algorithm can work well.
