A comprehensive introduction to ICA for students andpractitioners Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is one of the most excitingnew topics in fields such as neural networks, advanced statistics,and signal processing. This is the first book to provide acomprehensive introduction to this new technique complete with thefundamental mathematical background needed to understand andutilize it. It offers a general overview of the basics of ICA,important solutions and algorithms, and in-depth coverage of newapplications in image processing, telecommunications, audio signalprocessing, and more. Independent Component Analysis is divided into four sections thatcover: * General mathematical concepts utilized in the book * The basic ICA model and its solution * Various extensions of the basic ICA model * Real-world applications for ICA models Authors Hyvarinen, Karhunen, and Oja are well known for theircontributions to the development of ICA and here cover all therelevant theory, new algorithms, and applications in variousfields. Researchers, students, and practitioners from a variety ofdisciplines will find this accessible volume both helpful andinformative.
