This paper considers the identification problem of multi-input-output-error autoregressive systems. A hierarchical gradient based iterative (H-GI) algorithm and a hierarchical least squares based iterative (H-LSI) algorithm are presented by using the hierarchical identification principle. A gradient based iterative (GI) algorithm and a least squares based iterative (LSI) algorithm are presented for comparison. The simulation results indicate that the H-LSI algorithm can obtain more accurate parameter estimates than the LSI algorithm, and the H-GI algorithm converges faster than the GI algorithm.

This paper discusses the parameter estimation problems of multi-input output-error autoregressive (OEAR) systems. By combining the auxiliary model identification idea and the data filtering technique, a data filtering based recursive generalized least squares (F-RGLS) identification algorithm and a data filtering based iterative least squares (F-LSI) identification algorithm are derived. Compared with the F-RGLS algorithm, the proposed F-LSI algorithm is more effective and can generate more accurate parameter estimates. The simulation results confirm this conclusion.
