Canonical input-output representation of linear multivariable stochastic systems and joint optimal parameter and state estimation.
In this paper a complete presentation is given of a new canonical representation of multi-input, multi-output linear stochastic systems. Its equivalence with operator form directly linked with ARMA processes as well as with classical state space representation is given, and a transfer matrix interpretation is developed in an example. The importance of the new representation is mainly in the fact that in the joint state and parameters estimation problem, all unknown parameters appear linearly when...
