State-space models are models that use state variables to describe a system by a set of first-order differential or difference equations, rather than by one or more nth-order differential or difference equations. State variables x(t) can be reconstructed from the measured input-output data, but are not themselves measured during an experiment.

How does best-first search suffer from plateau and local maxima?
I understand that this particular algorithm suffers from these issues, however when I am researching the actual meanings of each one I can not grasp the concept. Can someone please explain how these are problems and whether 'Ridges and Alleys'…

Different result between ODE and signal.lsim resolution
For training purpose, I try to modeling and analyze a dynamic system using python. I follow the example given on this site.
In this example, they are using ODEint to resolve the differential equation and simulate a step response. This method gives…

Defining a statsmodels state space representation for an observation matrix that depends on both observed and unobserved variables
I am modeling a time series using a Kalman filter in the Python statsmodels package (Python 3.9 and statsmodels 0.13). The state space transition matrix looks like this:
The observation matrix looks like this (note that it depends on both the…

Understanding the ss() and tf2ss() functions and their differences
Following this question, I am trying to comprehend the functionality of MATLAB's ss() and tf2ss() functions and their differences. Consider the code below:
Kf = 0.2;
J = 0.02;
h2 = tf(1, [J Kf]);
dcm1 = ss(h2);
dcm2 = tf2ss(h2.Numerator{1},…
