Experiment Design and Identification for Control

Encyclopedia of Systems and Control

Abstract

Understanding the effect of experiment on estimation result is a crucial part of system identification – if the experiment is constrained or otherwise fixed, then the implied limitations need to be understood – but if the experiment can be designed, then given its fundamental importance that design parameter should be fully exploited, this entry will give an understanding of how it can be exploited. We also briefly discuss the particulars of identification for model-based control, one of the main applications of system identification.
