Estimating State-Space Time-Series Models

Definition of State-Space Time-Series Model

The discrete-time state-space model for a time series is given by the following equations:

where T is the sampling interval and y(kT) is the output at time instant kT.

The time-series structure corresponds to the general structure with empty B and D matrices.

For information about general discrete-time and continuous-time structures for state-space models, see What Are State-Space Models?.

Estimating State-Space Models at the Command Line

You can estimate single-output and multiple-output state-space models at the command line for time-domain and frequency-domain data (iddata object).

The following table provides a brief description of each command. The resulting models are idss model objects.

Commands for Estimating State-Space Time-Series Models

CommandDescription
n4sid

Noniterative subspace method for estimating discrete-time linear state-space models.

    Note   When you use pem to estimate a state-space model, n4sid creates the initial model.

pem

Estimates linear, discrete-time time-series models using an iterative estimation method that minimizes the prediction error.
