How to find second order transfer function of tfestimate result

I have used tfestimate in the form of [EstH, EstF] = tfestimate(x,y,[],[],[],10);.. This generated a 513 x 1 matrix for EstH in the form of a+bi and a 513 x 1 matrix for EstF with 'double' as the datatype. I would now like to obtain a second order transfer function, given the resultant. I am wondering what would be the best aproach? I would like obtain the function and intend to plot it ontop of a previously generated bode plot, for verification purposes.

I am obtaining tfestimate from time-series data, given the form , where Vin and Vout correspond to vectors containing input and output voltages, respectively.

The tfestimate function may not be the funciton you want. Instead, use invfreqs (continuous) or invfreqz (sampled) to estimate the transfer function.

If you have the System Identification Toolbox, there are similar functions that can do this.

Try TFEST

Estimate transfer function model - MATLAB tfest (mathworks.com)

Thank you both! I am obtaining good results with tfest

As always, my pleasure!

Since you were using Signal Processing Toolbox functions, I was not certain that you had the System Identification Toolbox, so I just suggested it as an option.
