whitenv.m

一种很好的Fast ICA算法。根据西安理工大学的一遍硕论文而写有很好的效果。

function [newVectors, whiteningMatrix, dewhiteningMatrix] = whitenv ...
    (vectors, E, D, s_verbose);
%WHITENV - Whitenv vectors.
%
% [newVectors, whiteningMatrix, dewhiteningMatrix] = ...
%                               whitenv(vectors, E, D, verbose);
%
% Whitens the data (row vectors) and reduces dimension. Returns
% the whitened vectors (row vectors), whitening and dewhitening matrices.
%
% ARGUMENTS
%
% vectors       Data in row vectors.
% E             Eigenvector matrix from function 'pcamat'
% D             Diagonal eigenvalue matrix from function 'pcamat'
% verbose       Optional. Default is 'on'
%
% EXAMPLE
%       [E, D] = pcamat(vectors);
%       [nv, wm, dwm] = whitenv(vectors, E, D);
%
%
% This function is needed by FASTICA and FASTICAG
%
%   See also PCAMAT
