Preface

Dedication: Peter Young (1939–), Engineer, Academic and Polymath This book is dedicated to Professor Peter Young’s 70th birthday. The majority of the authors in this book are Peter Young’s friends, collaborators, former colleagues, and former students. Professor Peter Young is a major pioneer in the development of recursive estimation and its use in adaptive forecasting, data assimilation and adaptive control system design. He has over 40 years experience in academic and industrial research, with more than 250 publications in the open literature including several books. He has made important research contributions to the areas of time series analysis, environmental modelling and computer-aided control system design. He is the leading expert on the identification and estimation of data-based transfer function models and has successfully promoted their use in forecasting and control system design. It is through a strong contextual focus on applications in diverse fields that Peter has made such innovative contributions to generic methods, algorithms and their associated software. His environmental applications experience includes: water quality modelling
