Multi-direction gradient iterative algorithm: A unified framework for gradient iterative and least squares algorithms (2021)
Journal Article

In this study, a multi-direction-based gradient iterative (GI) algorithm for Hammerstein systems with irregular sampling data is proposed. The algorithm updates the parameter estimates using several orthogonal directions at each iteration. The conver...
