System Identificationf

The term system identification has been used to describe a number of things, including the measurement of the system frequency response. However, we will use it here to describe procedures for extracting useful information on system models or parameters from experimental data. Different levels of system identification may be applied to test data. The different levels vary in complexity and in the value of the resulting informa­tion. Three system identification procedures that are useful in nuclear reactor applications are described in this section.
