Maximum likelihood hierarchical least squares-based iterative identification for dual-rate stochastic systems

For a dual-rate sampled-data stochastic system with additive colored noise, a dual-rate identification model is obtained by using the polynomial transformation technique, which is suitable for the available dual-rate measurement data. Based on the obtained model, a maximum likelihood least squares-based iterative (ML-LSI) algorithm is presented for identifying the parameters of the dual-rate sampled-data stochastic system. In order to improve the computation efficiency of the algorithm, the identification model of a dual-rate sampled-data stochastic system is divided into two subidentification models with smaller dimensions and fewer parameters, and a maximum likelihood hierarchical least squares-based iterative (H-ML-LSI) algorithm is proposed for these subidentification models by using the hierarchical identification principle. The simulation results indicate that the proposed algorithms are effective for identifying dual-rate sampled-data stochastic systems and the H-ML-LSI algorithm has a higher computation efficiency than the ML-LSI algorithm.
