Online Parameter Estimation

Estimate model parameters using recursive algorithms at the command line and in Simulink®

You can estimate parameters of AR, ARMA, ARX, ARMAX, OE, or BJ model coefficients using real-time data and recursive algorithms. You can also estimate models using a recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm. For details about the algorithms, see Recursive Algorithms for Online Parameter Estimation.

You can perform online parameter estimation using Simulink blocks in the Estimators sublibrary of the System Identification Toolbox™ library. You can then generate C/C++ code and Structured Text for these blocks using Simulink Coder™ and Simulink PLC Coder™, and deploy this code to an embedded target. You can also perform online estimation at the command line and deploy your code using MATLAB® Compiler™ or MATLAB Coder.
