Most popular ICA methods use kurtosis as a metric of independence (non-Gaussianity) to maximize, such as FastICA and JADE. However, their assumption of fourth-order moment (kurtosis) may not always be satisfied in practice. One of the possible solution is to use third-order moment (skewness)  instead of kurtosis, which was applied in ICA_SG and EcoICA. In this paper we present a competitive approach to ICA based on the Split Generalized Gaussian distribution (SGGD), which is well adapted to heavy-tailed as well as asymmetric data. Consequently, we obtain a method which works better than the classical approaches, in both cases: heavy tails and non-symmetric data.}, doi = {10.4467/20838476SI.19.002.14379}, url = {https://ejournals.eu/en/journal/schedae-informaticae/article/ica-based-on-split-generalized-gaussian} }
