Abstract

Bayesian approach to system identification requires from the user to collect and express his prior information about the identified system.The paper presents a way in which a global prior knowledge can be quantified.Two simple cases, pulse response smoothness and knowledge of the static gain of a system modelled by mixed autoregressive-regressive model, are elaborated in detail.These cases which are of practical importance illustrate main steps in the quantification.The significant and favourable effect of this built-in prior information on the start of selftuning control is demonstrated on an example.
