Scilab Function  sident -  discrete-time state-space realization and Kalman gain  
Calling Sequence
-    [(A,C)(,B(,D))(,K,Q,Ry,S)(,rcnd)] = sident(meth,job,s,n,l,R(,tol,t,Ai,  
-                                               Ci,printw))  
Parameters
  - meth  
    : integer option to determine the method to use:
  
  - =  
    1 : MOESP method with past inputs and outputs;
  
- =  
    2 : N4SID method;
  
- =  
    3 : combined method: A and C via MOESP, B and D via N4SID.
  
- job  
    : integer option to determine the calculation to be performed:
  
  - =  
    1 : compute all system matrices, A, B, C, D;
  
- =  
    2 : compute the matrices A and C only;
  
- =  
    3 : compute the matrix B only;
  
- =  
    4 : compute the matrices B and D only.
  
- s  
    : the number of block rows in the processed input and output block Hankel matrices.  s > 0.
  
- n  
    : integer, the order of the system
  
- l  
    : integer, the number of the system outputs
  
- R  
    : the 2*(m+l)*s-by-2*(m+l)*s part of  R  contains the processed upper triangular factor  R  from the QR factorization of the concatenated block-Hankel matrices, and further details needed for computing system matrices.
  
- tol  
    : (optional) tolerance used for estimating the rank of matrices. If  tol > 0,  then the given value of  tol  is used as a lower bound for the reciprocal condition number; an m-by-n matrix whose estimated condition number is less than  1/tol  is considered to be of full rank. Default:    m*n*epsilon_machine where epsilon_machine is the relative machine precision.
  
- t  
    : (optional) the total number of samples used for calculating the covariance matrices.  Either t = 0, or t >= 2*(m+l)*s. This parameter is not needed if the covariance matrices and/or the Kalman predictor gain matrix are not desired. If t = 0, then K, Q, Ry, and S are not computed. Default:    t = 0.
  
- Ai  
    : real matrix
  
- Ci  
    :  real matrix
  
- printw  
    : (optional) switch for printing the warning messages.
  
  - =  
    1:  print warning messages;
  
- =  
    0:  do not print warning messages.
  
    Default:    printw = 0.
  
  - A  
    : real matrix
  
- C  
    : real matrix
  
- B  
    : real matrix
  
- D  
    : real matrix
  
- K  
    : real matrix, kalman gain
  
- Q  
    : (optional) the n-by-n positive semidefinite state covariance matrix used as state weighting matrix when computing the Kalman gain.
  
- RY  
    : (optional) the l-by-l positive (semi)definite output covariance matrix used as output weighting matrix when computing the Kalman gain.
  
- S  
    : (optional) the n-by-l state-output cross-covariance matrix used as cross-weighting matrix when computing the Kalman gain.
  
- rcnd  
    : (optional) vector of length lr, containing estimates of the reciprocal condition numbers of the matrices involved in rank decisions, least squares, or Riccati equation solutions, where   lr = 4,  if Kalman gain matrix K is not required, and  lr = 12, if Kalman gain matrix K is required.
  
Description
  
  
  
    SIDENT function for computing a discrete-time state-space realization
    (A,B,C,D) and Kalman gain K using SLICOT routine IB01BD.
  
  
                 [A,C,B,D] = sident(meth,1,s,n,l,R)
   [A,C,B,D,K,Q,Ry,S,rcnd] = sident(meth,1,s,n,l,R,tol,t)
                     [A,C] = sident(meth,2,s,n,l,R)
                         B = sident(meth,3,s,n,l,R,tol,0,Ai,Ci)
         [B,K,Q,Ry,S,rcnd] = sident(meth,3,s,n,l,R,tol,t,Ai,Ci)
                     [B,D] = sident(meth,4,s,n,l,R,tol,0,Ai,Ci)
       [B,D,K,Q,Ry,S,rcnd] = sident(meth,4,s,n,l,R,tol,t,Ai,Ci)
   
  
    SIDENT computes a state-space realization (A,B,C,D) and the Kalman
    predictor gain K of a discrete-time system, given the system
    order and the relevant part of the R factor of the concatenated 
    block-Hankel matrices, using subspace identification techniques 
    (MOESP, N4SID, or their combination).
  
  
       The model structure is :
  
  
         x(k+1) = Ax(k) + Bu(k) + Ke(k),   k >= 1,
         y(k)   = Cx(k) + Du(k) + e(k),
   
  
       where  
    x(k)  is the  n-dimensional state vector (at time k),
  
  
    u(k)  is the  m-dimensional input vector,
  
  
    y(k)  is the  l-dimensional output vector,
  
  
    e(k)  is the  l-dimensional disturbance vector,
  
  
    and  A, B, C, D, and K  are real matrices of appropriate dimensions.
  
  
  
  
COMMENTS
    1. The n-by-n system state matrix A, and the p-by-n system output  matrix C are computed for job <= 2.
  
    2. The n-by-m system input matrix B is computed for job <> 2.
  
    3. The l-by-m system matrix D is computed for job = 1 or 4.
  
    4. The n-by-l Kalman predictor gain matrix K and the covariance matrices Q, Ry, and S are computed for t > 0.
