Coupled mass-spring-damper system for nonlinear system identification - actuated with random static inputs - synthetically generated

<h3>Overview</h3>
<p>This dataset contains input-output data of a coupled mass-spring-damper system with a nonlinear force profile. The data was generated with <code>statesim</code> [1], a python package for simulating linear and nonlinear ODEs, for the system <code>coupled-msd</code>. The configuration <code>.json</code> files for the corresponding datasets (in-distribution and out-of-distribution) can be found in the respective folders. After creating the dataset, the files are stored in the <code>raw</code> folder. Then, they are split into subsets for training, testing, and validation and can be found in the <code>processed</code> folder; details about the splitting are found in the <code>config.json</code> file.</p>

<p> The dataset can be used to test system identification algorithms and methods that aim to identify nonlinear dynamics from input-output measurements. The training dataset is used to optimize the model parameters, the validation set for hyperparameter optimization, and the test set only for the final evaluation.</p>

<p>In [2], the authors use the same underlying dynamics to create their dataset.</p>

<h3>Input generation</h3>
Input trajectories are piecewise constant trajectories.

<h3>Noise</h3>
Gaussian white noise of approximately 30dB is added at the output.

<h3>Statistics</h3>
<p>The input and output size is one.</p>
<ul>
<li>In-distribution data: 1,500,000 data points
<ul>
<li>Training: 120 trajectories of length 7500</li>
<li>Validation: 20 trajectories of length 7500</li>
<li>Test: 60 trajectories of length 7500</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Out-of-distribution data: 10 times 3000 data points
<p>10 different datasets were only used for testing. Each dataset contains 50 trajectories of length 6000.</p>

</ul>
