Introduction to System identification
Systems and models
Systems are objects, of which we would like to
study, control and affect the behavior. There
are tasks typically related to the study and use
of the systems. e.g.
A ship: We would like to control its direction
by manipulating the rudder angle.
A telephone channel: We would like to con-
struct a receiver with good reproduction of the
transmitted signal.
A time series of data (e.g. sales): We would
like to predict the future values.
