Abstract

The talk gives a self-contained derivation of data-driven methods developed in the behavioral setting and demonstrates their relevance for applications. The methods reviewed combine ideas from subspace identification and machine learning. A key idea from subspace identification is that under a persistency of excitation condition, the image of a Hankel matrix constructed from the data is equal to the behavior of the system. This result allows construction of trajectories directly from data, which in turn allows solving data-driven simulation, smoothing, and control problems. The construction requires solution of a system of linear equations only. It assumes, however, that the data is obtained from a linear time-invariant system. For noisy data and nonlinear systems, sparsity promoting regularization is an effective heuristic. As a show case of the data-driven representation, a direct data-driven method for frequency response estimation is shown.
