A method of measurement selection is introduced that relies on parameter signatures to assess the identifiability of dynamic model parameters by different outputs. A parameter signature is a region in the time-scale plane wherein the sensitivity of the output with respect to one model parameter is much larger than the rest of the output sensitivities. Since a parameter signature can be extracted when the corresponding output sensitivity is independent of the others, the ability to extract parameter signatures is indicative of parameter identifiability by the output and used here for output/measurement selection. The purpose of this paper is to introduce a strategy for measurement selection by parameter signatures and to demonstrate its applicability to the transient decks of turbojet engines. The validity of the selected outputs in providing observability to all the engine model parameters is independently verified by successful estimation of parameters by nonlinear least-squares estimation.
