RIM: A Matlab software tool for recursive identification methods

This paper introduces a recursive identification methods toolbox (called RIM) running under Matlab environment for dynamic system identification from available data. The RIM includes many methods which are generally used. The RIM helps users to validate the theoretical results and to carry out comparison between identifications methods without the need of algorithms programming. Furthermore, the RIM can be used as an education platform to study the identification parameters effect on model validity and results accuracy. To show its performance and capability, the RIM is evaluated through many application examples.
