Nonlinear Time Series Model for Ship Tracking Control

This paper presents two models for representing the ship's tracking dynamic behavior. The first model is a hybrid model combined by a state-dependent nonlinear time series model and a ship moving equation model, which has the advantage in long-term prediction. The second model is a pure state-dependent time series model, which has the advantage in short-term prediction. Both of them showed better simulation results than the model presented in Peng et al. [2010] did.
