The goal of the identification procedure is, in loose terms, to obtain a good and reliable model with a reasonable amount of work. To this end a number of different techniques have been developed, as we saw in Part II. They also contain a number of design variables to be chosen by the user. In this part we shall discuss how to make these choices so as to achieve our goals.
