Independent Component Analysis: Principles and Practice

by Stephen Roberts (Editor), Richard Everson (Editor)

Overview

Independent Components Analysis (ICA) is an important tool for modeling and understanding empirical data sets. Belonging to the class of general linear models, it is a method of separating out independent sources from linearly mixed data. ICA provides a better decomposition than other well-known models such as principal component analysis. This self-contained book contains a structured series of edited papers by leading researchers in the field and includes an extensive introduction to ICA. It reviews the major theoretical bases from a modern perspective, surveys current developments, and describes many case studies of applications in detail. Applications include biomedical examples, signal and image denoising, and mobile communications. The book discusses ICA within the framework of general linear models, but it also compares it to other paradigms such as neural network and graphical modeling methods.

Editorial Reviews

"...a highly technical book that is fascinating...There are a lot of deep ideas in this book and, as such, experts in ICA will want to have it at their disposal. No doubt this book would be a wonderful resource for a graduate student about to embark on the long pursuit of a thesis in the field." Technometrics
