Sparse Infomax Based on Hoyer Projection and its Application to Simulated Structural MRI and SNP Data

Independent component analysis has been widely applied to brain imaging and genetic data analyses for its ability to identify interpretable latent sources. Nevertheless, leveraging source sparsity in a more granular way may further improve its ability to optimize the solution for certain data types. For this purpose, we propose a sparse infomax algorithm based on nonlinear Hoyer projection, leveraging both sparsity and statistical independence...
