Abstract

This paper introduces the Transient Predictor and describes how it can be used to estimate the Multistep Predictor, which can be applied to applications such as Data-Driven Predictive Control (DDPC). The Transient Predictor has two desirable traits that differentiate it from other methods for estimating the Multistep Predictor, such as the standard Subspace Predictor method: 1) Causality---the Transient Predictor asserts a causal relationship between future inputs and future outputs; and 2) Bias---the Transient Predictor is a consistent predictor of future outputs. This paper provides an easy-to-implement algorithm for estimating the Transient Predictor and in turn the Multistep Predictor, and demonstrates its efficacy for DDPC. In experiments, we find that the Transient Predictor-based DDPC performs remarkably well with small lead-in data lengths, indicating that it is well-suited for tasks in which large amounts of data are not available. In addition, the Transient Predictor is not afflicted by the same bias as subspace-based methods when data is gathered in closed loop.
