Blind source separation using time-delayed signals

Abstract

In this work a modified version of AMUSE, called MMUSE, is proposed. The main modification consists in increasing the dimension of the data vectors by joining delayed versions of the observed mixed signals. With the new data a matrix pencil is computed and its generalized eigendecomposition is performed as in AMUSE. We will show that in this case the output (or independent) signals are filtered versions of the source signals. Some numerical simulations using artificially mixed signals as well as biological data (RR and QT intervals of Electrocardiogram) are presented.
