Nonlinear Blind Parameter Estimation

This note deals with parameter estimation of nonlinear continuous-time models when the input signals of the corresponding system are not measured. The contribution of the note is to show that, with simple priors about the unknown input signals and using derivatives of the output signals, one can perform the estimation procedure. As an illustration, we consider situations where the simple priors, e.g., independence or Gaussianity of the unknown inputs, is assumed.
