D-Optimal Design for Parameter Estimation in Discrete-Time Nonlinear Dynamic Systems

Published version of an article from the journal: Mathematical Problems in Engineering. Also available from the publisher:http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2012/296701 An optimal input design method for parameter estimation in a discrete-time nonlinear system is presented in the paper to improve the observability and identification precision of model parameters. Determinant of the information matrix is used as the criterion function which is generally a nonconvex function about the input signals to be designed. To avoid the locally optimizing problem, a randomized designmethod is proposed bywhich a globally optimizing test plan other than input signals may be obtained. Then the randomized design ca…
