This is an R-implementation of the Matlab-Function of Petteri.Pajunen@hut.fi.
For a data matrix X independent components are extracted by applying a
nonlinear PCA algorithm. The parameter fun determines which
nonlinearity is used. fun can either be a function or one of the
following strings "negative kurtosis", "positive kurtosis", "4th
moment" which can be abbreviated to uniqueness. If fun equals
"negative (positive) kurtosis" the function tanh (x-tanh(x)) is used
which provides ICA for sources with negative (positive) kurtosis. For
fun == "4th moments" the signed square function is used.
