In the existing system identification algorithms,the commonly used Gaussian,student's t(St)and Laplace distributions all show symmetric statistical characteristics which makes them difficult to describe the asym-metric and skewed noise,therefore the performance of the corresponding algorithms may largely degrade with the skewed noise.To this end,this paper introduces the generalized hyperbolic skew student's t(GHSkewt)distribu-tion and proposes a robust identification algorithm for linear systems with the asymmetric and skewed noise.Firstly,the thick-tailed and skewed characteristics of the GHSkewt distribution are introduced detailedly and it is also proved that the standard student's t-distribution can be regarded as a special case of the GHSkewt distribu-tion;Secondly,the latent variables are introduced to mathematically decompose the GHSkewt distribution in order to facilitate the derivation and implementation of the algorithm;Finally,the system cost function with the latent variables is reconstructed under the expectation-maximization(EM)algorithm.The dynamic characteristics and noise distribution of the system are continuously learned from the contaminated data with iterative optimization,then the estimation of noise parameters and model parameters are realized.
