报告题目：System identification for the errors-in-variables problem

摘要：
The seminar gives an overview of errors-in-variables methods in system identification.
Background and motivation are given. Simple examples illustrate why the identification problem
can be difficult. Under general weak assumptions, the systems are not uniquely identifiable, but
can be parameterized using one degree of freedom. Examples where identifiability is achieved
under additional assumptions are also provided. A number of approaches for parameter estimation
of errors-in-variables models are presented. The underlying assumptions and principles for each
approach are highlighted.
