Abstract

Identification of non-linear processes has always been a problem, as long as the mathematical model structure hardly can be known in advance. In the present paper, conventional Recursive Least Squares estimation is compared with Neural Network identification. Being more flexible and undependable on the model structure, this approach can approximate large variety of relationships. Both strategies are compared identifying a Waste Water Treatment Plant, which posses very strong non-linear properties.
