Course syllabus FEL3201 (Spring 2019–)Content and learning outcomes
Course contents
Intended learning outcomes
After the course, the student should be able to:
· describe the general principles for system identification.
· identify systems in a satisfactory manner. This includes choice of excitation signals, model structure and estimation algorithm as well as proper use of model validation.
· analyse basic model properties, such as identifiability and accuracy (bias and variance errors).

Grading scale
Examination
- EXA1 - Examination, 8.0 credits, grading scale: P, F
Based on recommendation from KTH’s coordinator for disabilities, the examiner will decide how to adapt an examination for students with documented disability.
The examiner may apply another examination format when re-examining individual students.
If the course is discontinued, students may request to be examined during the following two academic years.
Other requirements for final grade
· 15 min oral presentation of a selected topic in one of the lectures
· 80% on weekly home-work problems
· project (preferably on a problem related to the student’s own research)
· 50 % on 72 h take home exam
Examiner
Ethical approach
- All members of a group are responsible for the group's work.
- In any assessment, every student shall honestly disclose any help received and sources used.
- In an oral assessment, every student shall be able to present and answer questions about the entire assignment and solution.
