The system matrices a, b, c, and d describe the plant dynamics, and the matrices k and l specify the statefeedback and stateobserver gains, respectively. Here, x, u and y represent the states inputs and outputs respectively, while a, b, c and d are the state space matrices. The width of the output vector is the number of rows in the c and d matrices. Econometrics toolbox supports modeling and analyzing discretetime markov models. A diffuse statespace model is a statespace model that can contain at least one state with an infinite initial variance, called a diffuse state. Refer to the initial conditions parameter for specific blocks. The block is identical to the discrete pid controller block with the time domain parameter set to continuoustime the block output is a weighted sum of the input signal, the integral of the input signal, and the derivative of the input signal. The dimension of the output is the dimension of the full state vector.
