FIR type system identification with noisy input and output data can be solved by a total least squares (TLS) estimation. However, the performance of the TLS estimation is very sensitive to the ratio between the variances of the input and output noises. In this paper, we propose an iterative convex combination algorithm between TLS and least squares (LS). This combined algorithm shows robustness against the noise variance ratio. Consequently, the practical workability of the TLS method with noisy data has been significantly broadened.

It is known that the problem of FIR filtering with noisy input and output data can be solved by a total least squares (TLS) estimation. It is also known that the performance of the TLS estimation is very sensitive to the ratio between the variances of the input and output noises. In this paper, we propose a convex combination algorithm between the ordinary recursive LS based TLS (RTLS) and the ordinary recursive LS (RLS). This combined algorithm is robust to the noise variance ratio and has almost the same complexity as the RTLS. Simulation results show that the proposed algorithm performs near TLS in noise variance ratio ${\gamma}{\approx}1$ and that it outperforms TLS and LS in the rage of 2 < $\gamma$ < 20. Consequently, the practical workability of the TLS method applied to noisy data has been significantly broadened.
