    • G2F: has at least 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
    • G2E: has at least 60 credits in first-cycle course/s as entry requirements, contains degree project for Bachelor of Arts/Bachelor of Science
    • GXX: in-depth level of the course cannot be classified

    Second cycle

    • A1N: has only first-cycle course/s as entry requirements
    • A1F: has second-cycle course/s as entry requirements

Learning outcomes

The aim of this course is to guide the student how to translate theoretical concepts into engineering practice.

On completion of the course, the student should be able to:

  • describe the different phases that constitute the process of building models, from design of the identification experiment to model validation
  • analyze system identification methods using statistical methods
  • describe and motivate basic properties of classical identification methods
  • show working knowledge of the available tools and software
  • discuss relations to similar fields of research

Content

Examples of models for systems and signals. Correlation analysis and spectral analysis. Linear regression, the least squares method and prediction error methods. Black box and gray box modeling. Model validation and practical aspects. Possibilities and limitations with empirical modeling. Recursive identification methods and applications. Orientation on non-linear modeling and related research areas (eg machine learning).

Instruction

Lectures, problem solving sessions, mini project and laboratory work.

Assessment

Written examination (3 credits), laboratory work (1 credit) and mini project (1 credit).

If there are special reasons for doing so, an examiner may make an exception from the method of assessment indicated and allow a student to be assessed by another method. An example of special reasons might be a certificate regarding special pedagogical support from the disability coordinator of the university.
