Description
Summary:A parameter estimation method for rational functions models is developed. It can also be applied to any model where numerator and denominator are both linear functions of the unknown parameters. The procedure is verified for several examples proceeding from both simulated and experimental data. The method is shown to be computationally efficient providing a rapid convergence which does not depend on the starting point selection. A comparison is made between the proposed method and those of Gauss-Newton and Marquardt.
