Autocovariance Least Squares with Constrained Noise Covariance Model Identification

---

The scripts to run the constrained Autocovariance Least Squares technique for two examples are contained in this repository.

Mass Spring Damper Example

1. gen_data_msd
   • Creates simulated datasets of the msd dynamics with process and measurement noise
   • Generates ALS inputs with initial suboptimal process noise covariance, $Q$ and measurement noise covariance, $R$.
2. run_als_msd
   • Run script for constrained ALS problem
   • Calls setup_ALS_msd.m with defines lags and other ALS inputs
   • als_msd
     • ALS class with mass spring damper constraints for 7 temperature problem
3. plot_lags_msd
   • Plots results from constrained ALS problem
   • Saves mean and standard deviation of $Q$ and $R$ solutions
   • Figure 2
4. plot_QR_T
   • Figure 5
5. Phi_f: Figure 3
