This paper is concerned with adaptive IIR filtering for linear systems with
noisy input and output measurements. A new and numerically efficient proce
dure for estimating the variances of the white input and output noises is e
stablished so that the adaptive IIR filter based on the bias-eliminated lea
st-squares algorithm can be efficiently implemented. This new adaptive IIR
filter can achieve a substantial reduction in the computational effort, and
meantime it can retain almost the same parameter estimation accuracy.
Numerical results that illustrate the attractive properties of the new adap
tive IIR filter are presented.
