An Improved Method for Stochastic Nonlinear System’s Identification Using Fuzzy-Type Output-Error Autoregressive Hammerstein–Wiener Model Based on Gradient Algorithm, Multi-Innovat... by Donia Ben Halima Abid, Saif Eddine Abouda, Hanane Medhaffar, Mohamed Chtourou

“…In this work, the need for the commonly used assumptions including well-known structure of input and/or output nonlinearities and/or reversible nonlinear output is eliminated by replacing the intermediate variables and noise with their estimates. Four parametric estimation algorithms to identify the proposed fuzzy-type stochastic output-error autoregressive HW (FSOEAHW) model are derived based on backpropagation algorithm and multi-innovation and data filtering identification techniques. …”
