Estimation of Pure Component Fractions in a Mixture Using Independent Component Analysis

독립성분분석을 이용한 혼합물내의 순수물질 구성비 추정

Independent component analysis (ICA) is a statistical method for linearly transforming observed high-dimensional multivariate data into several statistically independent components. ICA has gained wide-spread attention in a variety of fields including spectrum application. We focus on the application of ICA for separating independent sources from a set of mixtures and estimating their fractions in a mixture. The proposed method of estimating fractions is based on the regression model subject to the non-negativity constraint on coefficients. Simulation experiments are performed to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach.
