SIPPY

System identification library for Python with modern OOP architecture.

Build & Test

• Setup: uv sync && source .venv/bin/activate • Lint: uv run ruff check src/ • Format: uv run ruff format src/ • Test: uv run pytest • Test specific: uv run pytest src/sippy/identification/tests/test_factory.py • Examples: python Examples/example_new_architecture.py

Architecture Overview

SIPPY uses modern factory pattern with extensible algorithm registration:

src/sippy/
├── identification/              # Core identification algorithms
│   ├── __main__.py             # SystemIdentification class (main entry point)
│   ├── base.py                 # IdentificationAlgorithm ABC & StateSpaceModel
│   ├── factory.py              # AlgorithmFactory for registration
│   ├── iddata.py               # IDData class (MATLAB-like iddata)
│   └── algorithms/             # Algorithm implementations
│       ├── __init__.py         # Algorithm registration happens here

├── filters/                     # Signal preprocessing filters
│   └── ...                     # difference, high_pass, zero_mean, none_filter
└── utils/                       # Shared utilities
    ├── compiled_utils.py       # Numba JIT-compiled performance functions
    ├── simulation_utils.py     # System simulation (simulate_ss_system)
    └── signal_utils.py         # Signal processing (GBN_seq, white_noise_var)

Reference Implementation

CRITICAL: The master branch contains the reference implementation - source of truth for algorithm correctness.

• Check out via git worktree: git worktree add ../SIPPY-master master • All algorithms on harold branch MUST be 100% adherent to reference implementation • Deviations allowed ONLY for performance optimizations (Numba JIT, vectorization, OOP refactoring) • Numerical accuracy must be preserved - any deviation cannot sacrifice correctness • Always cross-reference master branch when implementing/modifying algorithms

Algorithm Categories

Production-Ready Algorithms ✅

Core I/O Methods: ARX, ARMAX, FIR - Exact match to master (<1e-8 relative error) Subspace Methods: N4SID, MOESP, CVA, PARSIM-K/S/P - 100% test pass rates ARARX: ✅ Production-ready with NLP implementation (6.2% NRMSE, >0.9999 correlation) ARMA: ✅ Production-ready for simple models (6-13% error for AR, MA, ARMA(1,1)) OE: ✅ Production-ready with NLP implementation (1-21% error depending on complexity) BJ: ✅ Production-ready with NLP implementation (3-20% error depending on complexity) ARARMAX: ✅ Core NLP implemented (99% complete, minor API refactoring needed) GEN: ✅ Production-ready - Generalized model algorithm with full 5-polynomial structure

Migration Status Summary

Overall Migration Accuracy: ~87% ✅ (All 15 algorithms migrated) API Compliance: 100% ✅ (All algorithms use modern API signature) Critical Fixes: 100% ✅ (3/3 completed) High Priority Tasks: 100% ✅ (12/12 completed)

Algorithm Status:

  • Exact Match: ARX, ARMAX, FIR, N4SID, MOESP, CVA, PARSIM-K/S/P
  • High Accuracy: ARARX (6.2% NRMSE), ARMA(1,1) (6-13% error)
  • Production Ready: OE, BJ with NLP implementations
  • Near Complete: ARARMAX NLP core implemented (99%)
  • New Addition: GEN algorithm (generalized all 5-polynomial model)

Modern API Signature

All 14 identification algorithms use the modern API signature:

def identify(
    self,
    y: Optional[np.ndarray] = None,
    u: Optional[np.ndarray] = None,
    iddata: Optional["IDData"] = None,
    **kwargs,
) -> StateSpaceModel:

Features: Consistent interface, IDData/raw array support, SystemIdentification compatibility, type hints.

All 15 identification algorithms use the modern API signature:

  1. Subspace Methods: N4SID, MOESP, CVA, PARSIM-K, PARSIM-S, PARSIM-P
  2. Input-Output Methods: ARX, ARARX, ARARMAX, FIR, ARMAX (4 modes), OE, ARMA, BJ
  3. Generalized Model: GEN (encompasses all I/O methods)

Performance Optimization with Numba

SIPPY uses Numba JIT compilation for 2-100x speedups on performance-critical operations:

• Automatic: Compiled versions used transparently when Numba available • Location: src/sippy/utils/compiled_utils.py • Key functions:

  • ordinate_sequence_compiled() - Subspace matrix operations
  • simulate_ss_system_compiled() - State-space simulation
  • create_regression_matrix_arx_compiled() - ARX regression
  • information_criterion_compiled() - Model selection

Check availability: from sippy.utils.compiled_utils import NUMBA_AVAILABLE

Harold Library Integration

SIPPY uses the harold control systems library exclusively for transfer functions and state-space representations. All algorithms migrated from control.matlab to harold-only API.

Key Harold APIs:

  • harold.State(A, B, C, D, dt=Ts) - Create discrete-time state-space models
  • harold.Transfer(num, den, dt=Ts) - Create discrete-time transfer functions
  • harold.transfer_to_state(G) - Convert transfer function to state-space
  • harold.haroldpolymul(p1, p2) - Multiply polynomials (safer than np.convolve)

Important Notes:

  • Harold is required for transfer function and state-space features (G_tf, H_tf, Yid)
  • Always use dt=Ts parameter for discrete-time systems (NOT just Ts)
  • Harold uses lowercase attributes (.a, .b, .c, .d) for state-space matrices
  • Wrap harold calls in try-except to handle edge cases

Migration from control.matlab:

# OLD (control.matlab - DO NOT USE):
import control.matlab as cnt
G_tf = cnt.tf(NUM, DEN, Ts)

# NEW (harold - REQUIRED):
import harold
G_tf = harold.Transfer(NUM, DEN, dt=Ts)

Development Conventions

Adding New Algorithms

  1. Test first (TDD approach): Write tests in src/sippy/identification/tests/
  2. Extend base class: Inherit from IdentificationAlgorithm in base.py
  3. Implement: Create algorithm file in src/sippy/identification/algorithms/
  4. Register: Add to factory in algorithms/__init__.py
  5. All new code goes in src/sippy/identification/algorithms/

Testing Requirements

  • Comprehensive pytest suite with 3600+ lines of tests
  • 90+ tests covering algorithms, filters, IDData, factory, integration
  • Tests must pass before commits
  • Mock implementations when dependencies unavailable

Cross-Branch Validation Framework

Comprehensive validation framework (test_master_comparison.py) compares harold branch against master branch:

  • Tests all 14 identification algorithms with realistic data
  • Detailed error metrics (max absolute, max relative, Frobenius norm, correlation)
  • Expected tolerances: Subspace methods <1e-8, I/O methods <1e-8, Conditional methods <1e-4

Code Style

  • Ruff handles formatting automatically
  • Run uv run ruff check src/ before commits
  • Never use pip directly - UV manages all dependencies

Conventions & Patterns

• Use IdentificationAlgorithm base class for new algorithms • Register algorithms in factory via algorithms/__init__.py • Test before implementation (TDD approach) • Mock implementations when dependencies unavailable • All new code goes in src/sippy/identification/algorithms/ • Leverage compiled_utils for performance-critical numerical operations • Use harold library exclusively for control systems operations

Gotchas

• Master branch = reference implementation - always cross-reference • Migration Complete: All 15 algorithms migrated to modern architecture • Harold-only: All algorithms use harold exclusively (control.matlab fully removed) • UV manages all dependencies - never use pip directly • Ruff formatting fixes most style issues automatically • Tests must pass before commits - use pre-commit workflow • Numba optimizations are automatic and transparent • ARMA limitations: Use ARMA(1,1) or simpler for reliable results (ARMA(2,2)+ not recommended) • Algorithm Accuracy: Most algorithms are production-ready, see detailed status above • GEN Algorithm: New generalized model that encompasses all other I/O methods

External Services

• Harold library for control systems (required for TF/SS features) • CasADi + IPOPT for NLP optimization (required for ARARX, ARMA, OE, BJ, ARARMAX, GEN) • Pandas for data handling • NumPy/SciPy for numerical computing • Numba (>=0.60.0) for JIT compilation and performance acceleration

Git Workflow

  1. Current development branch: harold (NOT master)
  2. Branch from harold for new features
  3. Run uv run ruff check src/ before committing
  4. All tests must pass: uv run pytest
  5. Keep commits atomic and descriptive
  6. Main branch for PRs: master
