Relationship between mutual information and change of variables

On pages 11-12 of this tutorial, equation 28 $$ I(y_1,...,y_n) = \sum_i H(y_i) - H(x) - \log | \det(W)|$$ draws a connection between mutual information and an invertible linear transformation for $y ...

When will PCA be equivalent to ICA?

$X = AS$ where $A$ is my mixing matrix and each column of $S$ represents my sources. $X$ is the data I observe. If the columns of $S$ are independent and Gaussian, will the components of PCA be ...

Using kurtosis to assess significance of components from independent component analysis

In PCA eigenvalues determine the order of components. In ICA I am using kurtosis to obtain the ordering. What are some accepted methods to assess the number, (given I have the order) of components ...
