Round 1

Reviewer 1 Report

This paper presents a method for the identification of second order systems with unstable zero by applying the method of moments.

The paper is well written and clear. Some examples are provided that show the performance of the method.

Jus as a minor detail, in (2), there is left to be indicated that the derivatives are evaluated at s=0.

Reviewer is concerned with the potential effect of noise. Win case the data is corrupted by noise, what would be the effect on the application of the method. It is suggested to take one of the examples, (for example, Case 5) and introduce noise in the measurements with some noise power. Go increasing the noise power to detect limitations of the method.

Reviewer 2 Report

The paper presents an interesting method of identification of a particular system. While I think that the simulation results are convincing, I consider the topic to be very specialized for a general-purpose mathematical journal. Perhaps a process control journal may be a better fit.

The originality of the method is relatively low since the main results were developed in previous work. It is an interesting extension. The main contribution seems to be an analysis of the roots of the resulting polynomial.

I also have reservations about the provided results being only perfect simulations. An example with real data identification would be much more interesting due to model mismatch and measurement errors. 

It was mentioned that the chosen model is motivated by control. It would be nice to show the impact of the model mismatch on the closed-loop performance.

Reviewer 3 Report

That paper proposes analytical method to identify the five-parameter model directly from the characteristics areas.

The only parameter required by the user is the type of process, which in practice can be easily determined from the time response of the process.

That paper is ready for publication. I suggest to use more fresh literature in discussion.
