Abstract

Abstract. Independent Subspace Analysis (ISA; Hyvarinen & Hoyer, 2000) is an extension of ICA. In ISA, the components are divided into subspaces and components in different subspaces are assumed independent, whereas components in the same subspace have dependencies.In this paper we describe a fixed-point algorithm for ISA estimation, formulated in analogy to FastICA. In particular we give a proof of the quadratic convergence of the algorithm, and present simulations that confirm the fast convergence, but also show that the method is prone to convergence to local minima. 1
