Abstract

This paper presents a generalisation of the nonlinear’Infomax‘ algorithm based on the linear latentvariable model of factor analysis. The algorithm isbased on an information theoretic index for projectionpursuit which defines linear projections of observeddata onto subspaces of lower dimension. This isapplied to the visualisation and interpretation ofcomplex high dimensional data and is empiricallycompared with the recently developed GenerativeTopographic Mapping.
