This paper proposes a new adaptive IIR filtering algorithm based on eq
uation error (EE) formulation. The algorithm allows for the compensati
on of the bias inherent to the equation error formulation. A study of
the properties of the new algorithm shows that the asymptotic stabilit
y associated with the EE algorithm can be maintained. In addition, for
sufficiently general conditions, the parameter estimates are consiste
nt. Some methods recently proposed to remove the bias problem of the E
E algorithm are particular cases of the general algorithm presented. C
omputer simulations are included to illustrate and compare the converg
ence properties of the proposed algorithm. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B
