Keywords: Linear compartment system, identification, realization theory, Newton-Raphson method, generalized inverse

Abstract: The present paper discusses how the impulse response of an unknown linear multi-compartment system can be used to identify the system and points out some of the problems associated with a unique identification. A method for system identification has been implemented in a computer program. Simulated data have been used to study the accuracy of the identification from the impulse response.
