It is expected that synaptic construction and electrical characteristics In degenerate retina might be different from those In normal retina. Therefore, we analyzed the retinal waveform recorded with multielectrode array in normal and degenerate retina using principal component analysis (PCA) and Independent component analysis (ICA) and compared the results. PCA Is a well established method for retinal waveform while ICA has not tried for retinal waveform analysis. We programmed ICA toolbox for spatiotemporal analysis of retinal waveform. In normal mouse, the MEA spatial map shows a single hot spot perfectly matched with PCA-derived ON or OFF ganglion cell response. However In rd/rd mouse, the MEA spatial map shows numerous hot and cold spots whose underlying interactions and mechanisms need further Investigation for better understanding.

뇌파(Electroencephalogram, EEG)는 뇌의 자발적 전기활동을 두피에서 측정한 것이다. 그 동안 뇌질환과 관련된 임상에서 주로 사용되어져 왔으며, 비선형 동역학 연구를 통해 결정론적인 동역학 신호임이 밝혀짐에 따라 뇌 기능연구 분야에서 그 응용범위가 넓어지고 있다. 우리는 뇌파 신호에 대하여 독립성분분석(Independent Component Analysis, ICA)을 통하여 그 결과를 알아보았다. 즉, 뇌파의 독립성분 분석 적용 타당성을 알아본 다음 이를 적용하여 독립 소스들을 분리해 내었다. 또한 Topological Mapping을 이용하여 각각의 독립 소스들이 뇌의 어느 위치에서 발생하는지도 알아보았다. 이를 통하여 EEG에 독립성분분석을 적용함으로써 뇌 활동의 시간적, 공간적 분석이 가능하고 유용함을 나타내었다.

Real-estate values and related economics are often the first read newspaper category. We are concerned about the opinions of experts on the forecast for real estate prices. The Box-Jenkins ARIMA model is a commonly used statistical method to predict housing prices. In this article, we tried to predict housing prices by combining independent component analysis (ICA) in multivariate data analysis and the Box-Jenkins ARIMA model. The two independent components for both the selling price index and the long-term rental price index were extracted and used to predict the future values of both indices. In conclusion, it has been shown that the actual indices and the forecast indices using ICA are more comparable to the forecasts of the ARIMA model alone.

In measuring EEG, which is widely used for studying brain function, EEG is frequently mixed with noise and artifact. In this study, the signals relevant to the artifact were distracted by applying ICA to EEG signal. First, each independent component which was assumed to be the source was separated by applying ICA to EEG which involved artifact relevant to the eye movement of a normal person. Next, the signal which was assumed to be artifact was removed from the separated 18 independent components, and the nonlinear analysis method such as correlation dimension and the Iyapunov exponent was applied to each reconstructed EEG signal and the original signal including artifact in order to find meaningful difference between the two signals and infer the anatomical localization of its source and distribution. This study shows it is possible not only to analyze the brain function visually and spatially for visually complex EEG signal, but also to observe its meaningful change through the quantitative analysis of EEG by means of the nonlinear analysis.

This paper proposes feature parameter transformation method using independent component analysis (ICA) for speaker identification. The proposed method assumes that the cepstral vectors from various channel-conditioned speech are constructed by a linear combination of some characteristic functions with random channel noise added, and transforms them into new vectors using ICA. The resultant vector space can give emphasis to the repetitive speaker information and suppress the random channel distortions. Experimental results show that the transformation method is effective for the improvement of speaker identification system.

독립성분분석(ICA: Independent Component Analysis)이란 특징이 상이한 둘 이상의 신호들이 선형적으로 결합되어 있을 때 이를 효과적으로 분리하는 방법들을 통칭하며 잡음제거, 음질개선 및 신호처리 분야에서 많이 활용되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전화음성 화자인식 시스템의 성능향상을 위해 독립성분분석을 이용하는 방법을 제안한다. 먼저 화자가 발성한 음성신호의 켑스트럼 계수를 여러 채널 함수들의 선형적인 합으로 가정하고, 독립성분분석을 이용하여 얻은 새로운 켑스트럼 벡터를 학습과 인식에 사용하였다. 실험자료는 잔화음성 화자식별기의 성능평가에 널리 쓰이고 있는 SPIDRE를 사용하였고 regodic 은닉 마코프 모델을 이용하여 문장 독립 화자식별 시스템을 구성하였다. 학습음성의 특징과 실험음성의 특징이 다른 조건에서 기존의 채널 정규화 방법들에 비해 10~15%이상 인식률이 향상되었다.

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a statistical method for transforming an observed high-dimensional multivariate data into statistically independent components. ICA has been applied increasingly in wide fields of spectrum application since ICA is able to extract unknown components of a mixture from spectra. We focus on application of ICA for separating independent sources and predicting each composition using extracted components. The theory of ICA is introduced and an application to a metal surface spectra data will be described, where subsequent analysis using non-negative least square method is performed to predict composition ratio of each sample. Furthermore, some simulation experiments are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.

This paper proposes an independent component analyses(ICAs) of the fixed-point (FP) algorithm based on Newton and secant method by adding the kurtosis, respectively. The kurtosis is applied to cluster the analyzed components, and the FP algorithm is applied to get the fast analysis and superior performance irrelevant to learning parameters. The proposed ICAs have been applied to the problems for separating the 6-mixed signals of 500 samples and 10-mixed images of $512\times512$ pixels, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed ICAs have always a fixed analysis sequence. The results can be solved the limit of conventional ICA without a kurtosis which has a variable sequence depending on the running of algorithm. Especially. the proposed ICA can be used for classifying and identifying the signals or the images. The results also show that the secant method has better the separation speed and performance than Newton method. And, the secant method gives relatively larger improvement degree as the problem size increases.

본 연구에서는 엔트로피 최적화를 위한 목적함수의 근을 구하기 위해 단순히 함수 값만을 이용하여 계산을 근사화한 할선법에 기초한 고정점 알고리즘의 독립성분분석 기법을 제안하였다. 이렇게 하면 기존의 뉴우턴법에 기초한 고정점 알고리즘에서 요구되는 복잡한 도함수의 계산과정을 간략화 할 수 있어 더 우수한 학습성능의 독립성분분석이 가능하다. 제안된 학습알고리즘의 독립성분분석 기법을 512$\times$512의 픽셀을 가지는 10개의 영상을 대상으로 임의의 혼합행렬에 따라 발생되는 혼합영상들을 실험하였다. 실험결과, 기존의 뉴우턴법에 기초한 고정점 알고리즘의 분석기법보다 빠른 학습속도와 개선된 분리성능이 있음을 확인하였다. 특히 기존의 알고리즘에서 임의로 설정되는 초기값에 덜 의존하는 학습성능이 있음도 확인할 수 있었다.

This paper proposes a hybrid independent component analysis(ICA) of fixed-point(FP) algorithm and robust algorithm. The FP algorithm is applied for improving the analysis speed and performance, and the robust algorithm is applied for preventing performance degradations by means of very small kurtosis and temporal correlations between components. And the adaptive adaptation of temporal correlations has been proposed for solving limits of the conventional robust algorithm dependent on the maximum time delay. The proposed ICA has been applied to the problems for separating the 4-mixed signals of 500 samples and 10-mixed images of $512\times512$pixels, respectively. The experimental results show that the proposed ICA has a characteristics of adaptively adapting the maximum time delay, and has a superior separation performances(speed, rate) to conventional FP-ICA and hybrid ICA of heuristic correlation. Especially, the proposed ICA gives the larger degree of improvement as the problem size increases.
