This paper develops and illustrates methods for the identification of Wiener model structures. These techniques are capable of accommodating the "blind" situation where the input excitation to the linear block is not observed. Furthermore, the algorithm developed here can accommodate a nonlinearity which need not be invertible, and may also be multivariable. Central to these developments is the employment of the Expectation Maximisation (EM) method for computing maximum likelihood estimates, and the use of a new approach to particle smoothing to efficiently compute stochastic expectations in the presence of nonlinearities.
