ESPION: An expert system for system identification. (English) Zbl 0727.68123

Summary: An expert system for the identification of linear multiple input single output systems in ARARX form, written with the OPS83 rule-based programming language, is presented. Provided with a data set, the expert system will organize an intelligent search through the set of candidate structures, and end up with a “best” model according to a “quality index” that incorporates a number of validation criteria. Tests on both industrial and simulated data have shown that the expert system behaves as well as human experts, with considerable savings in time.
