A Flexible Fully-Multiplicative Orthogonal-Group Based ICA Algorithm

In this paper, we propose a flexible fully-multiplicative orthogonal-group based ICA (FlexibleOgICA) algorithm, which can instantaneously separate the mixture of sub-Gaussian and super-Gaussian source signals. It adopts a self-adaptive nonlinear function, which adjusts its parameter to achieve better performance based on the estimation of the kurtosis of super-Gaussian source signals. We also have successfully applied the algorithm to obtain the fetal electrocardiogram (FECG) signal, showing its fast convergence speed and high separation performance
