Maximum likelihood estimation(MLE) is a popular technique in both open and closed loop identification. However when the landscape of likelihood function has several local minima, gradient based optimization might end up with local convergence. To avoid this, various non-local-minimum conditions are derived in this paper. Here we consider different model structures, in particular Output-Error, ARMAX, and Box-Jenkins models
