Estimation and Control Theory: Application to Modeling Human Behavior

Abstract

The methodology of estimation and control theory is considered in terms of response, stability, estimation, and control of linear dynamic systems. Within the context of discrete-time systems, multi-input, multi-output, n^th-order linear systems are discussed, and general results for optimal estimation, optimal control, and other topics are presented. The application of these results to modeling human behavior is considered with special emphasis on man-machine system models.
