Measure a frequency response function
In the context depicted in the diagram, the transfer function estimate can be shown to be biased (wrong in expectation) due to the feedback loop. The input will, due to the feedback, be correlated ...

Second Order Transfer Function Question regarding Overshoot Formula
Formula is derived for pure 2nd order TF without any zeros.
The validity of the formula for cases with zeros depends on relative position of the zero with regard to poles. The poles of $T(s)$ are
