Connections between incremental and continuous-time EM algorithm for state space identification

Abstract:

The EM algorithm has been successfully applied to obtain maximum likelihood estimates for state-space models. The usual formulation of the algorithm is based on a shift operator model for the discrete-time (or sampled-data) system. More recently, it has been shown that an equivalent formulation of the algorithm in terms of incremental discrete-time models shows better numerical properties, in particular, for fast sampling rates. In this paper we explore the correspondence between the parameter estimates given by the EM algorithm applied to incremental models and those corresponding to a purely continuous-time formulation. © 2012 IFAC.
