Abstract

This paper shows the possibility to blindly separate instantaneous mixtures of sources by means of a criterion exploiting order statistics. Properties of higher order statistics and second-order methods are first underlined. Then a brief description of the order statistics shows that they gather all these properties and a new criterion is proposed. Next an iterative algorithm able to simultaneously extract all the sources is developed. The last part is comparison of this algorithm with well-known methods (JADE and SOBI). The most striking result is the possibility to exploit together independence and correlation through the use of order statistics.
