public record ICA(double[][] components) extends Record implements Serializable
Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a computational method for separating a multivariate signal into additive components. FastICA is an efficient algorithm for ICA invented by Aapo Hyvärinen.

Like most ICA algorithms, FastICA seeks an orthogonal rotation of prewhitened data, through a fixed-point iteration scheme, that maximizes a measure of non-Gaussianity of the rotated components. Non-gaussianity serves as a proxy for statistical independence, which is a very strong condition and requires infinite data to verify. To measure non-Gaussianity, FastICA relies on a non-quadratic nonlinear function f(u), its first derivative g(u), and its second derivative g2(u).

A simple application of ICA is the cocktail party problem, where the underlying speech signals are separated from a sample data consisting of people talking simultaneously in a room. Usually the problem is simplified by assuming no time delays or echoes.

An important note to consider is that if N sources are present, at least N observations (e.g. microphones if the observed signal is audio) are needed to recover the original signals.
