Chapter 1A Brief Review of Supervised Learning

There are a number of algorithms that are typically used for system identification, adaptive control, adaptive signal processing, and machine learning. These algorithms all have particular similarities and differences. However, they all need to process some type of experimental data. How we collect the data and process it determines the most suitable algorithm to use. In adaptive control, there is a device referred to as the self-tuning regulator. In this case, the algorithm measures the states as outputs, estimates the model parameters, and outputs the control signals. In reinforcement learning, the algorithms process rewards, estimate value functions, and output actions. Although one may refer to the recursive least squares (RLS) algorithm in the self-tuning regulator as a supervised learning algorithm and reinforcement learning as an unsupervised learning algorithm, they are both very similar. In this chapter, we will present a number of well-known baseline supervised learning algorithms.

1.1 Least Squares Estimates

The least squares (LS) algorithm is a well-known and robust algorithm for fitting experimental data to a model. The first step is for the user to define a mathematical structure or model that he/she believes will fit the data. The second step is to design an experiment to collect data under suitable conditions. “Suitable conditions” usually means the operating conditions under which the system will typically operate. ...
