Reliable truncation parameter selection and model order estimation for stochastic subspace identification
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Stochastic subspace identification (SSID) is a fundamental technique for the analysis and prediction of dynamic systems influenced by stochastic processes. This paper addresses critical challenges in SSID, focusing on two steps of SSID, the estimation of truncation hyperparameters and the model order selection, which are pivotal for accurate and robust system parameter estimation. While the existing approaches for truncation hyperparameter estimation mostly rely on arbitrary choices in practice, a new fully automated approach, denoted as Multivariate Reconstruction Error Modeling (MREM), is introduced that is based on a solid theory of measurement errors. Similarly, the existing order selection approaches utilize different penalty terms. However, in application, the optimum approach is chosen by trial and error, and as the data length increases, the methods seem to perform worse, which alarms the issue of consistency. A new method for model order estimation, called Advanced Mean Square Eigenvalue Error (AMSEE) Minimization, is proposed in this work, which is not only consistent as the data length grows but also shows superiority over these existing methods. Instead of a penalty term, the method focuses on the mean square error of the singular value decomposition (SVD) and provides a method that, unlike existing ones, is robust to noise variation. The combination of MREM and AMSEE collectively denoted as MRSEE, achieves rapid convergence to the true model order, maintaining accuracy even as the data length increases. Simulation results consistently confirm these properties and the superiority of MRSEE over the existing approaches, exhibiting better accuracy and robustness against overfitting and underfitting in varying measurement noise conditions. In experiments with synthesized electroencephalogram (EEG) data, MRSEE reduces estimation and true error rates up to 43.44% and 41.16%, respectively, compared to the state-of-the-art approaches. These results highlight MRSEE’s capability to provide robust and reliable solutions for SSID applications, particularly in scenarios with relatively shorter data lengths and lower signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
