Summary

Introduces the N4SID algorithm, which identifies linear state-space models from input-output data using projections of block Hankel matrices, providing a numerically robust approach to subspace system identification.

Abstract

We present a new dynamical system identification algorithm. In this new framework, the concept of a state is emphasized.
