FastICA package for MATLAB

[Aapo Hyvarinen]

FastICA, a new MATLAB package for independent component analysis,
is now available at:

http://www.cis.hut.fi/projects/ica/fastica/

FastICA is a public-domain package that implements the fast
fixed-point algorithm for ICA, and features an easy-to-use graphical
user interface.

The fixed-point algorithm is a computationally highly efficient method
for ICA: in independent experiments it has been found to be 10-100
times faster than conventional gradient descent methods for ICA.
Another advantage of the fixed-point algorithm is that it can be
used to perform projection pursuit, estimating the independent
components one-by-one.
