Estimate Transfer Function Models by Specifying Number of Poles

This example shows how to identify a transfer function containing a specified number of poles for given data.

Estimate Transfer Function Models with Transport Delay to Fit Given Frequency-Response Data

This example shows how to identify a transfer function to fit a given frequency response data (FRD) containing additional phase roll off induced by input delay.

Estimate Transfer Function Models With Prior Knowledge of Model Structure and Constraints

This example shows how to estimate a transfer function model when the structure of the expected model is known and apply constraints to the numerator and denominator coefficients.

Estimate Transfer Functions with Delays

This example shows how to estimate transfer function models with I/O delays.

Estimate Transfer Function Models with Unknown Transport Delays

This example shows how to estimate a transfer function model with unknown transport delays and apply an upper bound on the unknown transport delays.

Troubleshoot Frequency-Domain Identification of Transfer Function Models

Improve frequency-domain model estimation by preprocessing data and applying frequency-dependent weighting filters.

Concepts

What are Transfer Function Models?

Transfer function models describe the relationship between the inputs and outputs of a system using a ratio of polynomials.
