Model Estimation Commands

The quickest way to both construct a model object and estimate the model parameters is to use estimation commands.

For ARMAX, Box-Jenkins, and Output-Error Models—which you can only estimate using the iterative prediction-error method—use the armax, bj, and oe estimation commands, respectively. For more information about choosing the models to estimate first, see Recommended Model Estimation Sequence.

The following table summarizes System Identification Toolbox estimation commands. For detailed information about using each command, see the corresponding reference page.
