A natural evolution of statistical signal processing, in connection with the progressive increase in computational power, has been exploiting higher-order information. Thus, high-order spectral analysis and nonlinear adaptive filtering have received the attention of many researchers. One of the most successful techniques for non-linear processing of data with complex non-Gaussian distributions is the independent component analysis mixture modelling (ICAMM). This thesis defines a novel formalism for pattern recognition and classification based on ICAMM, which unifies a certain number of...

Modern treatment of data requires powerful tools that allow the possible valuable contents of that data to be thoroughly understood and exploited. From the plethora of techniques proposed to achieve those objectives, the independent component analysis (ICA) has emerged as a flexible and efficient approach to model and characterize arbitrary data densities. Considering adequate data preprocessing, ICA can be implemented for any kind of data including imaging; biomedical signals; telecommunication data; and web data. In this framework, this book embraces a significant vision of ICA that...
