We present an analysis of the optical spectra of narrow emission-line galaxies, based on mean field independent component analysis (MFICA). Samples of galaxies were drawn from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS) and used to generate compact sets of `continuum and `emission-line component spectra. These components can be linearly combined to reconstruct the observed spectra of a wider sample of galaxies. Only 10 components - five continuum and five emission line - are required to produce accurate reconstructions of essentially all narrow emission-line galaxies; the median absolute deviations of the reconstructed emission-line fluxes, given the signal-to-noise ratio (S/N) of the observed spectra, are 1.2-1.8 sigma for the strong lines. After applying the MFICA components to a large sample of SDSS galaxies we identify the regions of parameter space that correspond to pure star formation and pure active galactic nucleus (AGN) emission-line spectra, and produce high S/N reconstructions of these spectra. The physical properties of the pure star formation and pure AGN spectra are investigated by means of a series of photoionization models, exploiting the faint emission lines that can be measured in the reconstructions. We are able to recreate the emission line strengths of the most extreme AGN case by assuming the central engine illuminates a large number of individual clouds with radial distance and density distributions, f(r) ~ r^gamma and g(n) ~ n^beta, respectively. The best fit is obtained with gamma = -0.75 and beta = -1.4. From the reconstructed star formation spectra we are able to estimate the starburst ages. These preliminary investigations serve to demonstrate the success of the MFICA-based technique in identifying distinct emission sources, and its potential as a tool for the detailed analysis of the physical properties of galaxies in large-scale surveys.

Fast Independent Component Analysis (FastICA) is a component separation algorithm based on the levels of non-Gaussianity. Here we apply the FastICA to the component separation problem of the microwave background including carbon monoxide (CO) line em
issions that are found to contaminate the PLANCK High Frequency Instrument (HFI) data. Specifically we prepare 100GHz, 143GHz, and 217GHz mock microwave sky maps including galactic thermal dust, NANTEN CO line, and the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) emissions, and then estimate the independent components based on the kurtosis. We find that the FastICA can successfully estimate the CO component as the first independent component in our deflection algorithm as its distribution has the largest degree of non-Gaussianity among the components. By subtracting the CO and the dust components from the original sky maps, we will be able to make an unbiased estimate of the cosmological CMB angular power spectrum.
Independent component analysis (ICA) has been widely used for blind source separation in many fields such as brain imaging analysis, signal processing and telecommunication. Many statistical techniques based on M-estimates have been proposed for esti
mating the mixing matrix. Recently, several nonparametric methods have been developed, but in-depth analysis of asymptotic efficiency has not been available. We analyze ICA using semiparametric theories and propose a straightforward estimate based on the efficient score function by using B-spline approximations. The estimate is asymptotically efficient under moderate conditions and exhibits better performance than standard ICA methods in a variety of simulations.
Using a semi-analytical model developed by Choudhury & Ferrara (2005) we study the observational constraints on reionization via a principal component analysis (PCA). Assuming that reionization at z>6 is primarily driven by stellar sources, we decomp
ose the unknown function N_{ion}(z), representing the number of photons in the IGM per baryon in collapsed objects, into its principal components and constrain the latter using the photoionization rate obtained from Ly-alpha forest Gunn-Peterson optical depth, the WMAP7 electron scattering optical depth and the redshift distribution of Lyman-limit systems at z sim 3.5. The main findings of our analysis are: (i) It is sufficient to model N_{ion}(z) over the redshift range 2<z<14 using 5 parameters to extract the maximum information contained within the data. (ii) All quantities related to reionization can be severely constrained for z<6 because of a large number of data points whereas constraints at z>6 are relatively loose. (iii) The weak constraints on N_{ion}(z) at z>6 do not allow to disentangle different feedback models with present data. There is a clear indication that N_{ion}(z) must increase at z>6, thus ruling out reionization by a single stellar population with non-evolving IMF, and/or star-forming efficiency, and/or photon escape fraction. The data allows for non-monotonic N_{ion}(z) which may contain sharp features around z sim 7. (iv) The PCA implies that reionization must be 99% completed between 5.8<z<10.3 (95% confidence level) and is expected to be 50% complete at z approx 9.5-12. With future data sets, like those obtained by Planck, the z>6 constraints will be significantly improved.
Electroencephalogram (EEG) is the recording which is the result due to the activity of bio-electrical signals that is acquired from electrodes placed on the scalp. In Electroencephalogram signal(EEG) recordings, the signals obtained are contaminated
predominantly by the Electrooculogram(EOG) signal. Since this artifact has higher magnitude compared to EEG signals, these noise signals have to be removed in order to have a better understanding regarding the functioning of a human brain for applications such as medical diagnosis. This paper proposes an idea of using Independent Component Analysis(ICA) along with cross-correlation to de-noise EEG signal. This is done by selecting the component based on the cross-correlation coefficient with a threshold value and reducing its effect instead of zeroing it out completely, thus reducing the information loss. The results of the recorded data show that this algorithm can eliminate the EOG signal artifact with little loss in EEG data. The denoising is verified by an increase in SNR value and the decrease in cross-correlation coefficient value. The denoised signals are used to train an Artificial Neural Network(ANN) which would examine the features of the input EEG signal and predict the stress levels of the individual.
Two types of spatiotemporal chaos exhibited by ensembles of coupled nonlinear oscillators are analyzed using independent component analysis (ICA). For diffusively coupled complex Ginzburg-Landau oscillators that exhibit smooth amplitude patterns, ICA
extracts localized one-humped basis vectors that reflect the characteristic hole structures of the system, and for nonlocally coupled complex Ginzburg-Landau oscillators with fractal amplitude patterns, ICA extracts localized basis vectors with characteristic gap structures. Statistics of the decomposed signals also provide insight into the complex dynamics of the spatiotemporal chaos.
