Abstract

Despite of the increased interest in independent component analysis (ICA) during the past two decades, a simple closed form expression of the Cramer-Rao bound (CRB) for the demixing matrix estimation has not been established in the open literature. In the present paper we fill this gap by deriving a simple closed-form expression for the CRB of the demixing matrix directly from its definition. A simulation study comparing ICA estimators with the CRB is given.
