contents This paper introduces a novel optimization-based approach for parametric nonlinear system identification. Building upon the prediction error method framework, traditionally used for linear system identification, we extend its capabilities to nonlinear systems. The predictions are computed using a moving horizon state estimator with a constant arrival cost. Eventually, both the system parameters and the arrival cost are estimated by minimizing the sum of the squared prediction errors. Since the predictions are induced by the state estimator, the method can be viewed as the tuning of a state estimator, based on its predictive capacities. The present extension of the prediction error method not only enhances performance for nonlinear systems but also enables learning from multiple trajectories with unknown initial states, broadening its applicability in practical scenarios. Additionally, the novel formulation leaves room for the design of efficient and parallelizable optimization algorithms, since each output prediction only depends on a fixed window of past actions and measurements. In the special case of linear time-invariant systems, we show an important property of the proposed method which suggests asymptotic consistency under reasonable assumptions. Numerical examples illustrate the effectiveness and practicality of the approach, and one of the examples also highlights the necessity for the arrival cost.
