DMODPO

Estimates the A and C matrices and the Kalman gain in a discrete-time state-space model from time-domain data that was preprocessed by dordpo.

Syntax

[A,C] = dmodpo(R,n)

[A,C,K] = dmodpo(R,n)

[A,C,K] = dmodpo(R,n,'stable')

Description

This function estimates the A and C matrices corresponding to an n th order discrete-time LTI state-space model. A Kalman gain can be estimated as well. The compressed data matrix R from the preprocessor function dordpo is used to this end.

Inputs

R is a compressed data matrix containing information about the measured data, as well as information regarding the system dimensions.

n is the desired model order n..

stable estimates a stable A matrix, see [2].

Outputs

A is the state-space model's A matrix.

C is the state-space model's C matrix.

K is the Kalman gain matrix.

Remarks

The data matrix R generated by the M-file implementation of dordpo is incompatible with the R matrix generated by the MEX-implementation of dordpo. Therefore, either the M-files should be used for both dordpo and dmodpo, or the MEX-files should be used for both functions. The stable option only works in the M-file implementation/

The MEX-implementation of dmodpo uses the IB01BD function from the SLICOT library.

The MEX-implementation may generate the following warning:

Warning: Covariance matrices are too small: returning K=0

This implies that there is not enough information available to reliably estimate a Kalman gain. K = 0 is returned for stability reasons in this case.

Algorithm

The data matrix obtained with dordpi contains the weighted left singular vectors of the R32 matrix. The first n of these vectors form an estimate Os of the system's extended observability matrix:

The estimates Ahat and Chat are obtained by linear regression:

$$ \hat{C} = \hat{\mathcal{O}}_s(1:\ell,:) $$

$$ \hat{A} = \hat{\mathcal{O}}_s(1:(s-1)\ell,:)^\dagger
\hat{\mathcal{O}}_s(\ell+1:s\ell,:) $$

The optional Kalman gain is aclculated based on estimated noise covariance matrices [1].
