| Abstract | This paper presents a nonparametric method for identification of MIMO linear parameter-varying (LPV) models in state-space form. The states are first estimated up to a similarity transformation via a nonlinear canonical correlation analysis (CCA) operating in a reproducing kernel Hilbert space (RKHS). This enables to reconstruct a minimal-dimensional inference between past and future input, output and scheduling variables, making it possible to estimate a state sequence consistent with the data. Once the states are estimated, a least-squares support vector machine (LS-SVM)-based identification scheme is formulated, allowing to capture the dependency structure of the matrices of the estimated state-space model on the scheduling variables without requiring an explicit declaration of these often unknown dependencies; instead, it only requires the selection of nonlinear kernel functions and the tuning of the associated hyper-parameters. 2017 Elsevier Ltd |
| Sponsor | This paper has presented a nonparametric method for identification of LPV-SS models. The proposed technique relies only on the inputs, outputs, and scheduling variables data. The states are estimated up to a similarity transformation by using correlation analysis between the past and future data. Once estimated, an LS-SVM-based non-parametric scheme is used to identify the underlying LPV model. The proposed scheme solves a convex optimization problem and provides encouraging results on a MIMO numerical example with challenging nonlinearities in the presence of noise. The proposed algorithm is further validated on the model of a continuous stirred tank reactor process, and results are compared with an earlier study that assumes complete knowledge of the states. We find that kernel CCA provides encouraging state reconstruction results, which can then be augmented with the measured data in order to build an LPV-SS model. The main contribution of this paper lies in formulating the kernel CCA and LS-SVM solution for this identification problem by preserving the linearity structure in parameter-dependent state-space models. The proposed method also does not impose any dependency structure on the matrix functions, affine or otherwise. Since LPV-SS models are important for LPV control synthesis purposes, we believe that this work has the potential to pave the way for efficient low-order LPV modeling for control synthesis.
