We discuss discrete‐time dynamical systems depending on a parameter μ. Assuming that the system matrix A(μ)$A(\mu)$ is given, but the parameter μ is unknown, we infer the most‐likely parameter μm≈μ$\mu _{m}\approx \mu$ from an observed trajectory x of the dynamical system. We use parametric eigenpairs (vi(μ),λi(μ))$(v_{i}(\mu),\lambda _{i}(\mu))$ of the system matrix A(μ)$A(\mu)$ computed with Newton's method based on a Chebyshev expansion. We then represent x in the eigenvector basis defined by the vi(μ)$v_{i}(\mu)$ and compare the decay of the components with predictions based on the λi(μ)$\lambda _{i}(\mu)$. The resulting estimates for μ are combined using a kernel density estimator to find the most likely value for μm$\mu _{m}$ and a corresponding uncertainty quantification. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
