Subspace identification for continuous-time stochastic systems via distribution-based approach
This paper presents a novel approach for system identification of continuous-time stochastic state space models from random input-output continuous data. The approach is based on the introduction of random distribution theory in describing (higher) time derivatives of stochastic processes, and the input-output algebraic relationship is derived which is treated in the time-domain. The efficacy of the approach is examined by comparing with other approaches employing the filters.
