The DPF has the advantage over system (1) into two nested sub-problems and then handles the regular PF that the DPF can increase the level of parallelism the two nested sub-problems using PFs.

    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON AUTOMATIC CONTROL, VOL. 46, NO. 12, DECEMBER 2001 1887 Asymptotic Variance Expressions for Estimated Frequency Functions Liang-Liang Xie and Lennart Ljung, Fellow, IEEE Abstract—Expressions for the variance of an estimated fre- where the spectra of and are and , respectively. quency function are necessary for many issues in model validation Then the basic result is that the variance of the estimated fre- and experiment design. A general result is that a simple expression quency function is given by for this variance can be obtained asymptotically as the model order tends to infinity. This expression shows that the variance is inversely proportional to the signal-to-noise ratio frequency by (3) frequency. Still, for low order models the actual variance may be quite different. This has also been pointed out in several recent publications. In this contribution we derive an exact expression where the expression is asymptotic in both the model order , for the variance, which is not asymptotic in the model order. This and the number of data . For this result to hold, it is essentially expression applies to a restricted class of models: AR-models, only required that the model parameterization in (1) has a block as well as fixed pole models with a polynomial noise model. It brings out the character of the simple approximation and the shift structure, so that the gradient w.r.t. the parameter block , convergence rate to the limit as the model order increases.
