This paper presents a new state-space identification framework for non-linear systems. In particular, a state-space model structure is designed with the Group Method of Data Handling type neural network. It is assumed that the neurons of the network have tangensoidal activation functions. For such a network type, a new approach based on a bounded-error set estimation technique is employed to estimate the parameters of the network. The final part of this work contains an llustrative example regarding the application of the proposed approach in the fault detection system.
