Fig. 7. Boxplot of the separation performance when identify<strong>in</strong>g 5 sources <strong>in</strong> 8-dimensional<br />

observed artificial s-EMG record<strong>in</strong>gs. (a) shows the mean Amari <strong>in</strong>dex of<br />

the product of the identified separation and the real mix<strong>in</strong>g matrix, and (b) depicts<br />

the SNR of the recovered sources versus the real sources. Mean and variance were<br />

taken over 100 runs.<br />

3.1.2 Multiple s-EMG experiments<br />

We now show performance of the above algorithms when applied to 100 different<br />

realizations of artificial s-EMG data sets. The data consists of 8 channels<br />

with 5 underly<strong>in</strong>g source activities; more details about data generation are<br />

given <strong>in</strong> section 2.1.1. The algorithm parameters are the same as above with<br />

the exception that automated SCA is performed us<strong>in</strong>g Mangasarian-style cluster<strong>in</strong>g<br />

[38] after PCA dimension reduction to 5.<br />

The ICA and sparse BSS algorithms from above are applied to these data sets,<br />

and Amari <strong>in</strong>dex as well as SNR of the recovered sources versus the orig<strong>in</strong>al<br />

sources is stored. In Fig. 7, the means of these two <strong>in</strong>dices as well as their<br />

deviations are shown <strong>in</strong> a box plot, separately for each algorithm. As <strong>in</strong> the<br />

s<strong>in</strong>gle s-EMG experiment, these statistics confirm that JADE performs best,<br />

both <strong>in</strong> terms of matrix and <strong>in</strong> terms of source recovery (which is more or less<br />

the same due to the fact that we are deal<strong>in</strong>g with the noiseless case so far).<br />

The NMF algorithms identify the mix<strong>in</strong>g matrix with acceptable performance,<br />

however (sparse) NMF tak<strong>in</strong>g only positive samples (sNMF∗) tends to separate<br />

the data slightly better than by sample preprocess<strong>in</strong>g us<strong>in</strong>g κ from equation<br />

(4). SCA cannot detect the source matrix as well as the other BSS algorithms<br />

— aga<strong>in</strong> the SCA conditions seem to be somewhat violated — however it<br />

performs adequately well recover<strong>in</strong>g the sources, which is due to the fact that<br />

some sources are recovered very well result<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong> a higher SNR than the NMF<br />

algorithms. For practical reasons, it is important to check to what extend the<br />

signal-to-<strong>in</strong>terference ratio between the channels is improved after apply<strong>in</strong>g<br />

BSS algorithms. For each run, we monitor the SIR of the orig<strong>in</strong>al sources and<br />

the recoveries by tak<strong>in</strong>g the mean over all channels. The two SIR means are<br />
