Title: Parameter estimation via differential algebra and operational calculus

Abstract:

We present parameter estimation approach based on differential algebra and operational calculus. The main steps of the corresponding estimation algorithms are presented through the estimation of a noisy damped sinusoid. Some basic features of the method are pointed out and in particular, we show that a least squares interpretation can be given. Application to the estimation of a chirp signal is also presented with numerical simulations.
