System Identification

Course description

Course description

Book

Henrik Madsen, Time Series Analysis, Chapman & Hall, 2008. Available from Fredrik Bajers Vej book store. It is an excellent book not only for system identification but also for other subjects e.g. stochastic processes, spectral analysis, multivariate time series, stochastic state space models and Kalman filters.

Course material

Lessons, reading instructions and exercises.
Slides from the Lessons. Slides from the Lessons in article style.
Solutions to exercises from the book home page.
Comments to the book. Notice that this is very detailed comments mainly to my self. Students do not have to read them.
Comments to the solutions to exercises from the book home page.
Miscellaneous M-files for exercises etc.

Supplementary Danish material: On request I give a link to a old Danish lecture note. Notice: this is of course not necessary to read. Also this material has a different approach to the subject and also different contents and notation.

Evaluation

The course is evaluated by an individual oral exam. The students should prepare 1 (one page) overhead for each lecture, stating the key points related to the lecture. A starting point could be the lessons, reading instructions and exercises. The student pick a random question/lecture number. The exam will be based on a short 3 min presentation related to the question number followed by questions from the examinators. The student is expected to use hes/hers overhead on a overhead projector. The overhead must be made by each individual student. No other material is allowed.
Informations on the time schedule for the event will follow in due time.
Student who uses this as a re-evaluation must let me know so I can arrange for a censor.
