Acknowledgments
The birth of a new book is an emotional moment, especially when it comes after years of research and teaching.
This text is indeed the outcome of my years of lecturing model identification and data analysis (MIDA) at the Politecnico di Milano, Italy. In its first years of existence, the course had a very limited number of students. Nowadays, there are various MIDA courses, offered to master students of automation and control engineering, electronic engineering, bio‐engineering, computer engineering, aerospace engineering, and mathematical engineering.
In my decades of scientific activity, I have had the privilege of meeting and working with many scholars. Among them, focusing on the Italian community, are Paolo Bolzern, Claudio Bonivento, Marco Claudio Campi, Patrizio Colaneri, Antonio De Marco, Giuseppe De Nicolao, Marcello Farina, Simone Formentin, Giorgio Fronza, Simone Garatti, Roberto Guidorzi, Alberto Isidori, Antonio Lepschy, Diego Liberati, Arturo Locatelli, Marco Lovera, Claudio Maffezzoni, Gianantonio Magnani, Edoardo Mosca, Giorgio Picci, Luigi Piroddi, Maria Prandini, Fabio Previdi, Paolo Rocco, Sergio Matteo Savaresi, Riccardo Scattolini, Nicola Schiavoni, Silvia Carla Strada, Mara Tanelli, Roberto Tempo, and Antonio Vicino.
I am greatly indebted to Silvia Maria Canevese for her generous help in the manuscript editing, thank you Silvia. Joshua Burkholder, Luigi Folcini, Chiara Pasqualini, Grace Paulin Jeeva S, Marco Rapizza, Matteo Zovadelli, and Fausto ...
