R: AMUSE Method for Blind Source Separation

AMUSE {JADE} | R Documentation

## AMUSE Method for Blind Source Separation

### Description

AMUSE method for the second order blind source separation problem. The function estimates the unmixing matrix in a second order stationary source separation model by jointly diagonalizing the covariance matrix and an autocovariance matrix at lag k.

### Usage

    AMUSE(x, ...)

    ## Default S3 method:
    AMUSE(x, k = 1, ...)
    ## S3 method for class 'ts'
    AMUSE(x, ...)

### Arguments

`x` | a numeric matrix or a multivariate time series object of class `ts`. Missing values are not allowed.
`k` | integer lag for the autocovariance matrix, must be larger than 0. Default is 1.
`...` | further arguments to be passed to or from methods.

### Details

The lag `k` has a huge effect on the performance and it should be chosen so that the eigenvalues of autocovariance matrix are distinct. The function assumes always as many sources as there are time series.

### Value

A list with class 'bss' containing the following components:

`W` | estimated unmixing matrix.
`EV` | eigenvectors of autocovariance matrix.
`k` | lag of the autocovariance matrix used.
`S` | estimated sources as time series objected standardized to have mean 0 and unit variances.

### Examples

    # creating some toy data
    A<- matrix(rnorm(9),3,3)
    s1 <- arima.sim(list(ar=c(0.3,0.6)),1000)
    s2 <- arima.sim(list(ma=c(-0.3,0.3)),1000)
    s3 <- arima.sim(list(ar=c(-0.8,0.1)),1000)

    S <- cbind(s1,s2,s3)
    X <- S %*% t(A)

    res1<-AMUSE(X)
    res1
    coef(res1)
    plot(res1) # compare to plot.ts(S)
    MD(coef(res1),A)

    # input of a time series
    X2<- ts(X, start=c(1961, 1), frequency=12)
    plot(X2)
    res2<-AMUSE(X2, k=2)
    plot(res2)
