Identifiability of parametric models : [ed., updated, and expanded papers from the 7. IFAC/IFORS Symposium on Identification and System Parameter Estimation held in July 1985 in York, England

Identifiability of Parametric Models provides a comprehensive presentation of identifiability. This book is divided into 11 chapters. Chapter 1 reviews the basic methods for structural identifiability testing. The methods that deal with large-scale models and propose conjectures on global identifiability are considered in Chapter 2, while the problems of initial model selection and generating the set of models that have the exact same input-output behavior are evaluated in Chapter 3. Chapters 4 and 5 cover nonlinear models. The relations between identifiability and the well-posedness of the estimation problem are analyzed in Chapter 6, followed by a description of the algebraic manipulations required for testing a model for structural controllability, observability, identifiability, or distinguishability in chapter 7. The rest of the chapters are devoted to the relations between identifiability and parameter uncertainty. This publication is beneficial to students and researchers aiming to acquire knowledge of the identifiability of parametric models.
