Semi-quantitative System Identiication
نویسندگان
چکیده
System identiication takes a space of possible models and a stream of observational data of a physical system, and attempts to identify the element of the model space that best describes the observed system. In traditional approaches, the model space is speciied by a parameterized diierential equation, and identiication selects numerical parameter values so that simulation of the model best matches the observations. We present SQUID, a method for system identiication in which the space of potential models is deened by a semi-quantitative diierential equation (SQDE): qualitative and monotonic function constraints as well as bounding intervals and functional envelopes bound the set of possible models. SQSIM predicts semi-quantitative behavior descriptions from the SQDE. Identiication takes place by describing the observation stream in similar semi-quantitative terms and intersecting the two descriptions to derive narrower bounds on the model space. Reenement is done by refuting impossible or implausible subsets of the model space. SQUID therefore has strengths, particularly robustness and expressive power for incomplete knowledge, that complement the properties of traditional system identiication methods. We also present detailed examples, evaluation, and analysis of SQUID. See note at end of paper.

Tools for Semi-physical Modeling
By semi-physical modeling we mean such an application of system identiication, where physical insight into the application is used to come up with suitable nonlinear transformations of the raw measurements, so as to allow for a good model structure. Semi-physical modeling is less "ambitious" than physical modeling, in that no complete physical structure is sought, just suitable inputs and outpu...
متن کاملOn Tikhonov regularization, bias and variance in nonlinear system identification
Regularization is a general method for solving ill-posed and ill-conditioned problems. Traditionally, ill-conditioning in system identiication problems is usually approached using regularization methods such as ridge regression and principal component regression. In this work it is argued that the Tikhonov regularization method is a powerful alternative for regulariza-tion of non-linear system ...
متن کاملSemi-quantitative segmental perfusion scoring in myocardial perfusion SPECT: visual vs. automated analysis
Introduction: It is recommended that the physician apply at least a semi-quantitative segmental scoring system in myocardial perfusion SPECT. We aimed to assess the agreement between automated semi-quantitative analysis using QPS (quantitative Perfusion SPECT) software and visual approach for calculation of summed stress score (SSS), summed rest score (SRS) and summed difference score (SDS). ...

متن کاملRobust Identi cation of Takagi-Sugeno-Kang Fuzzy Models using Regularization
The identiication of fuzzy models can sometimes be a diicult problem, often characterized by lack of data in some regions, collinearities and other data deecien-cies, or a sub-optimal choice of model structure. Regu-larization is suggested as a general method for improving the robustness of standard parameter identiication algorithms leading to more accurate and well-behaved fuzzy models. The p...
