The Hierarchical Iterative Identification Algorithm for Multi-Input-Output-Error Systems with Autoregressive Noise

This paper considers the identification problem of multi-input-output-error autoregressive systems. A hierarchical gradient based iterative (H-GI) algorithm and a hierarchical least squares based iterative (H-LSI) algorithm are presented by using the hierarchical identification principle. A gradient based iterative (GI) algorithm and a least squares based iterative (LSI) algorithm are presented for comparison. The simulation results indicate that the H-LSI algorithm can obtain more accurate parameter estimates than the LSI algorithm, and the H-GI algorithm converges faster than the GI algorithm.
