Identification of multiple-input, single-output, discrete transfer function models. Application to ankle stiffness.
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Dynamic ankle joint stiffness defines the relationship between the position of the ankle and the torque acting about it and can be separated into intrinsic and reflex components. Under stationary conditions, intrinsic stiffness can be described by a linear second order system while reflex stiffness is described by a Hammerstein system whose input is delayed velocity. Given that reflex and intrinsic torque cannot be measured separately, there has been much interest in the development of system identification techniques to separate them analytically. To date, most methods have been nonparametric and as a result there is no direct link between the estimated parameters and those of the stiffness model. This thesis demonstrates that the ankle stiffness model can be approximated by a discrete-time, multiple input, single output linear transfer function model and introduces a novel algorithm for the identification of this class of models. As the algorithm is novel, proofs of the convergence and the existence of the solution are provided. Through simulations we show that the algorithm gives unbiased results even in the presence of large non-white noise. Application of the method to experimental data demonstrates that it produces results consistent with previous findings.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model 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 teacher head, not a consensus.
