Comparison of least squares and exponential sine sweep methods for Parallel Hammerstein Models estimation

Decomposition Methods for Least Squares Parameter Estimation

In this paper least squares method with matrix decomposition is revisited and a multiple model formulation is proposed The proposed formulation takes advantage of the well established decomposition methods but possesses a multiple model structure which leads to simpler and more exible implementations and produces more infor mation than the original least squares methods Several application exam...

An Estimation Of Seasonal GDP Gap In Iran: Application Of Adaptive Least Squares Methods

Generalized Least Squares and Weigh- Ted Least Squares Estimation Methods for Distributional Parameters

• Regression procedures are often used for estimating distributional parameters because of their computational simplicity and useful graphical presentation. However, the resulting regression model may have heteroscedasticity and/or correction problems and thus, weighted least squares estimation or alternative estimation methods should be used. In this study, we consider generalized least square...

Parallel Tensor Methods for Nonlinear Equations and Nonlinear Least Squares

We describe the design and computational performance of parallel row-oriented tensor algorithms for the solution of dense systems of nonlinear equations and nonlinear least squares problems on a distributed-memory MIMD multiprocessor. Tensor methods are general purpose methods that base each iteration upon a quadratic model of the nonlinear function, rather than the standard linear model, where...

Detection of structural damage using the exponential sine sweep method

Structural damages can result in nonlinear dynamical responses. Thus, estimating the nonlinearities generated by damages potentially allows detecting them. In this paper, an original approach called the ES2D (Exponential Sine Sweep Damage Detection) is proposed for nonlinear damage detection. This approach is based on a damage index that reflects the ratio of the energy contained in the nonline...
