Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a method for blind source separation of a multivariate dataset that transforms observations to new statistically independent linear forms. Infinite variance of non-Gaussian α-stable distributions makes algorithms like ICA non-appropriate for these distributions. In this note, we propose an algorithm which computes mixing matrix of ICA, in a parametric subclass of α-stable distributions.
