MATRIX X : A Data Analysis, System Identification, Control Design and Simulation Program

Abstract MATRIX X is an interactive software system to perform a complete cycle of steps starting from data analysis to system identification, control design, simulation and evaluation. It is built on a user-friendly interpreter incorporating powerful matrix operations. The package offers four major features: 1) powerful interpreter, simple command structure, good graphics capability with most “bookkeeping” chores handled by the software, 2) state-of-the-art numerical algorithms, which allow solutions to high order problems, 3) user transparent file management with uniform and consistent format, and 4) efficient implementation with a stack to require minimum memory and computation resources.
