โฆ Synopsis
This paper is concerned with the influence of forgetting factors on the consistency of prediction error methods of identification. Based on Ljung's analysis of the off-line case, it is shown that the use of forgetting factors can give rise to identifiability problems, unless the behaviour of these factors over time satisfied certain conditions. The main theorem covers the cases when the factors are deterministic functions of time or calculated via an adaptive mechanism.

A modified version of the self-toning regulator having limited adaptability has been successfully implemented on a large-scale chemical pilot plant. The new algorithm uses a least-squares estimator with variable weighting of past data; at each step a weighting factor is chosen to maintain constant a
Almtract--The similarities are pointed out between the variable forgetting factor given in the paper by Fortescue, Kershenbaum and Ydstie and that given in Wellstead and Sanoff. Moreover, it is shown that the method of Fortescue, Kershenbaum and Ydstie can be made significantly more efficient, compu
