Iterative feedback tuning with guaranteed stability

Presents an identification-based mechanism for introducing guaranteed stability when using a data-driven model-free iterative control design method known as iterative feedback tuning. Also, the use of unbiased estimates of the Hessian is shown to significantly improve the user control over the tuning procedure.
