The second moment based independent component analysis scheme of Molgedey and Schuster is generalized to fractional low order moments, relevant for linear mixtures of heavy tail stable processes. The Molgedey and Schuster algorithm stands out by allowing explicitly construction of the independent components. Surpricingly, this tums out to be possible also for decorrelation based on fractional l...

Abstract Introduction/Objective It is estimated that at least 20% of the 5 billion lab orders submitted annually are inappropriate. Use an appropriate laboratory test utilization management system (TUMS) can significantly overcome this.
