An Introduction to Independent Component Analysis: InfoMax and FastICA algorithms
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper presents an introduction to independent component analysis (ICA). Unlike principal component analysis, which is based on the assumptions of uncorrelatedness and normality, ICA is rooted in the assumption of statistical independence. Foundations and basic knowledge necessary to understand the technique are provided hereafter. Also included is a short tutorial illustrating the implementation of two ICA algorithms (FastICA and InfoMax) with the use of the Mathematica software.

ICA-based EEG denoising: a comparative analysis of fifteen methods
Independent Component Analysis (ICA) plays an important role in biomedical engineering. Indeed, the complexity of processes involved in biomedicine and the lack of reference signals make this blind approach a powerful tool to extract sources of interest. However, in practice, only few ICA algorithms such as SOBI, (extended) InfoMax and FastICA are used nowadays to process biomedical signals. In...
متن کاملImpact of Window Length and Decorrelation Step on ICA Algorithms for EEG Blind Source Separation
Blind Source Separation (BSS) approaches for multi-channel EEG processing are popular, and in particular Independant Component Analysis (ICA) algorithms have proven their ability for artifacts removal and source extraction for this very specific class of signals. However, the blind aspect of these techniques implies wellknown drawbacks. As these methods are based on estimated statistics from th...
متن کاملLinear Geometric ICA: Fundamentals and Algorithms
Geometric algorithms for linear independent component analysis (ICA) have recently received some attention due to their pictorial description and their relative ease of implementation. The geometric approach to ICA was proposed first by Puntonet and Prieto (1995). We will reconsider geometric ICA in a theoretic framework showing that fixed points of geometric ICA fulfill a geometric convergence...
متن کاملIndependent Components Analysis by Direct Entropy Minimization
This paper presents a new algorithm for the independent components analysis (ICA) problem based on efficient entropy estimates. Like many previous methods, this algorithm directly minimizes the measure of departure from independence according to the estimated Kullback-Leibler divergence between the joint distribution and the product of the marginal distributions. We pair this approach with effi...
متن کاملRecognizing faces with PCA and ICA
This paper compares principal component analysis (PCA) and independent component analysis (ICA) in the context of a baseline face recognition system, a comparison motivated by contradictory claims in the literature. This paper shows how the relative performance of PCA and ICA depends on the task statement, the ICA architecture, the ICA algorithm, and (for PCA) the subspace distance metric. It t...
