Abstract This paper gives an overview on the theoretical results of recently developed algorithms for iterative controller tuning based correlation approach. The basic idea is to decorrelate output error between achieved and designed closed‐loop systems by iteratively parameters. Two different approaches are investigated. In first one, a equation involving vector instrumental variables solved using stochastic approximation method. It shown that, with appropriate choice finite number data at...
