System Identification Toolbox Create linear and nonlinear dynamic system models from measured input-output data System Identification Toolbox™ constructs mathematical models of dynamic systems from measured input-output data. It provides MATLAB® functions, Simulink® blocks, and an interactive tool for creating and using models of dynamic systems not easily modeled from first principles or specifications. You can use time-domain and frequency-domain input-output data to identify continuous-time and discrete-time transfer functions, process models, and state-space models. The toolbox provides maximum likelihood, prediction-error minimization (PEM), subspace system identification, and other identification techniques. For nonlinear system dynamics, you can estimate Hammerstein-Weiner models and nonlinear ARX models with wavelet network, tree-partition, and sigmoid network nonlinearities. The toolbox performs grey-box system identification for estimating parameters of a user-defined model. You can use the identified model for prediction of system response and for simulation in Simulink. The toolbox also lets you model time-series data and perform time-series forecasting.

Identifying a transfer function model from frequency-domain test data and using the identified model in Simulink. Analyzing and Processing Data When preparing data for identifying models, you need to specify information such as input-output channel names, sampling time, and intersample behavior. The toolbox lets you attach this information to the data, which facilitates visualization of data, domain conversion, and various preprocessing tasks. Measured data often has offsets, slow drifts, outliers, missing values, and other anomalies. The toolbox removes such anomalies by performing operations...

Estimating Model Parameters Parametric models, such as transfer functions or state-space models, use a small number of parameters to capture system dynamics. System Identification Toolbox estimates model parameters and their uncertainties from time-response and frequency-response data. You can analyze these models using time-response and frequency-response plots, such as step, impulse, bode plots, and pole-zero maps. Estimating and Validating Models 1:21 Estimate multiple models and validate against the validation data set. Validating Results System Identification Toolbox helps validate the accuracy...

MATLAB code for identifying a transfer function model from time-domain test data in System Identification Toolbox (top) and using the identified model to tune a PID controller in Control System Toolbox (bottom). Identifying Nonlinear Models When linear models are not sufficient for capturing system dynamics, you can use System Identification Toolbox to estimate nonlinear models, such as nonlinear ARX and Hammerstein-Wiener. Nonlinear ARX models enable you to model nonlinearities using wavelet networks, tree-partitioning, sigmoid networks, and neural networks (with Neural Network Toolbox™). Using...

Modeling Time-Series Data A time series is one or more measured output channels with no measured input. System Identification Toolbox lets you create time-series data models to forecast future signal values based on previous ones. You can estimate time-series models using both time-domain and frequency-domain data. You can estimate time-series spectra that describe time-series variations using cyclic components at different frequencies. You can also estimate parametric autoregressive (AR), autoregressive and moving average (ARMA), autoregressive integrated moving average (ARIMA), and state-space...
