According to ideas from set-membership identification, the key approach is to characterize the model by its maximum allowed prediction error, which is used as a tuning knob for traning off between prediction accuracy and model complexity. At initialization, the proposed procedure for PWA identification exploits a technique per partitioning an infeasible system of linear inequalities into a (possibly minimum) number of feasible subsystems. This provides both an initial clustering of the datapoints and a guess of the number of required submodels, which therefore is not fixed a priori. A refinement procedure is then applied in order to improve both data classification and parameter estimation. The partition of the PWA maps is finally estimated by considering multicategory classification techniques.
