mdp.nodes.CuBICANode

Class CuBICANode

Perform Independent Component Analysis using the CuBICA algorithm. Note that CuBICA is a batch-algorithm, which means that it needs all input data before it can start and compute the ICs. The algorithm is here given as a Node for convenience, but it actually accumulates all inputs it receives. Remember that to avoid running out of memory when you have many components and many time samples.

As an alternative to this batch mode you might consider the telescope mode (see the docs of the __init__ method).

Internal variables of interest

self.white: The whitening node used for preprocessing.
self.filters: The ICA filters matrix (this is the transposed of the projection matrix after whitening).
self.convergence: The value of the convergence threshold.

Instance Methods

[hide private]

core(self, data)
This is the core routine of the ICANode. Each subclass must define this function to return the achieved convergence value. This function is also responsible for setting the ICA filters matrix self.filters. Note that the matrix self.filters is applied to the right of the matrix containing input data. This is the transposed of the matrix defining the linear transformation.

Inherited from ICANode

__init__(self, limit=0.001, telescope=False, verbose=False, whitened=False, white_comp=None, white_parm=None, input_dim=None, dtype=None)
Input arguments:

_execute(self, x)

_inverse(self, y)

_set_input_dim(self, n)

_stop_training(self)
Whiten data if needed and call the 'core' routine to perform ICA. Take care of telescope-mode if needed.

execute(self, x)
Process the data contained in x.

inverse(self, y)
Invert y.

stop_training(self)
Whiten data if needed and call the 'core' routine to perform ICA. Take care of telescope-mode if needed.

Inherited from Cumulator

_train(self, *args)
Collect all input data in a list.

train(self, *args)
Collect all input data in a list.

Inherited from Node

__add__(self, other)

__call__(self, x, *args, **kwargs)
Calling an instance of Node is equivalent to calling its execute method.

__repr__(self)
repr(x)

__str__(self)

Return True if the node has multiple training phases.

is_training(self)
Return True if the node is in the training phase, False otherwise.

save(self, filename, protocol=-1)
Save a pickled serialization of the node to filename. If filename is None, return a string.
