Abstract
A method and apparatus of identifying a system is disclosed. The method comprises estimating at least one parameter in a second-order model of the system, and approximating at least one parameter in a first-order model of the system from the at least one second-order model parameter. The method may also comprise sampling an input to the system, sampling an output from the system. The apparatus comprises a device for estimating at least one parameter in a second-order model of the system, and device for approximating at least one parameter in a first-order model of the system from the at least one second-order model parameter.

A method of identifying a system, comprising:
- estimating at least one parameter in a second-order model of the system;
- and
- approximating at least one parameter in a first-order model of the system from the at least one second-order model parameter.
A method of analyzing a system to estimate at least one parameter in a first-order model of the system, the method comprising:
- sampling an input to the system;
- sampling an output from the system;
- estimating at least one parameter in a second-order model of the system using the sampled inputs and outputs;
- and
- approximating the at least one first-order model parameter based on the at least one second-order model parameter.
A method of analyzing a non-first order system having inputs and outputs, the method comprising:
- sampling the inputs;
- sampling the outputs;
- estimating at least one parameter for a first-order model of the system based on the sampled inputs and outputs.
An apparatus for identifying a system, comprising:
- means for estimating at least one parameter in a second-order model of the system;
- and
- means for approximating at least one parameter in a first-order model of the system from the at least one second-order model parameter.
