Abstract

Noisy independent component analysis (ICA) is viewed as a method of factor rotation in exploratory factor analysis (EFA). Starting from an initial EFA solution, rather than rotating the loadings towards simplicity, the factors are rotated orthogonally towards independence. An application to Thurstone's box problem in psychometrics is presented using a new data matrix containing measurement error. Results show that the proposed rotational approach to noisy ICA recovers the components used to generate the mixtures quite accurately and also produces simple loadings.
