β¦ Synopsis
A new, statistically efficient and computationally efficient maximum likelihood computational procedure for determining the period and damping values of linear multi-degree-of-freedom structures and estimates of their statistical reliability from records of their response to random winds or earthquake excitation is described. Damping and period estimates computed from a modern nine-story steel frame building are analysed and compared with the results obtained from steady-state forced vibration tests.

When experiments are conducted there is always a chance of the occurrence of large measurement errors (outliers). Common identification methods like generalized least squares, maximum likelihood etc. may not converge in these situations due to the presence of oufliers. Here we present a method for t
