Abstract

Minimax parametric identification of a multidimensional uncertain stochastic linear model under incomplete a priori information on the first two moments of the characteristics of the parameters of the model is investigated. The minimax problem is reduced through regularization of the initial mean-square criterion to a dual problem without any additional assumptions on the nondegeneracy of matrices belonging to the uncertainty set. Results are illustrated by concrete examples of singular models.
