Robust Independent Component Analysis via Time-Delayed Cumulant Functions

IEICE transactions on fundamentals of
… In this paper we consider blind source separation (BSS) problem of signals which are spatially uncorrelaled of order four, but temporally correlated of order four (for instance speech or biomedical signals). … For such type of signals we propose a new sufficient condition for separation using fourth order statistics, stating that the separation is possible, if the source signals have distinct normalized cumulant functions (depending on time delay). …
