20810158 - Model Identification and Data Analysis

Introduce the student to the fundamentals of system identification applied to sampled systems (ARX and ARMAX model, ordinary least squares, recursive least squares, bayesian filtering). Introduce the student to sensor fusion. To familiarize the student with the use of the MatLab identification toolbox
