An S4 Class implementing the FastICA algorithm for Indepentend
Component Analysis.
Arguments
Slots
fun
A function that does the embedding and returns a
dimRedResult object.
stdpars
The standard parameters for the function.
General usage
Dimensionality reduction methods are S4 Classes that either be used
directly, in which case they have to be initialized and a full
list with parameters has to be handed to the @fun()
slot, or the method name be passed to the embed function and
parameters can be given to the ..., in which case
missing parameters will be replaced by the ones in the
@stdpars.
Parameters
FastICA can take the following parameters:
ndim
The number of output dimensions. Defaults to 2
Implementation
Wraps around fastICA. FastICA uses a very
fast approximation for negentropy to estimate statistical
independences between signals. Because it is a simple
rotation/projection, forward and backward functions can be given.
Details
ICA is used for blind signal separation of different sources. It is
a linear Projection.
