  • Patent number: 11443219
    Abstract: A model estimation system estimates a model of a system represented by an ordinary differential equation with all coefficients being non-zero, and with which input data and a state at each time can be obtained. When an order of the ordinary differential equation and input data and a state at multiple past times in the system are inputted, a model expression construction unit constructs an expression representing a model by using a first matrix that is a matrix according to the order and has only some elements as unknown elements and a second matrix that is a matrix according to the order and has only some one element as an unknown element. A model estimation unit uses input data and a state at multiple past times, to estimate the model by learning unknown elements of the first matrix and the unknown element of the second matrix.
