The paper is about a generalization of a classical eigenvalue- decomposition method originally developed for errors-in-variables linear system identification to handle an important class of nonlinear problems. A number of examples are presented to call the attention to the most critical part of the procedure turning the identification problem to a generalized eigenvalue-eigenvector calculation problem with symmetrical matrices. The elaborated method generates consistent parameter estimation. Simulation results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm.
Keywords: errors-in-variables model, nonlinear system identification, eigenvalue-eigenvector decomposition
