“…We propose a novel taxonomy to define four general BSS subproblems, as follows:
- Single dataset unidimensional (SDU): x consists of a single dataset whose sources are not grouped, e.g., independent component analysis (ICA) [19]–[21] and second order blind identification (SOBI) [22], [23], as in section III-A1;
- Multiple dataset unidimensional (MDU): x consists of one or more datasets but no multidimensional sources occur within any of the datasets, although multidimensional sources containing a single source from each dataset may occur, e.g., canonical correlation analysis (CCA) [24], partial least squares (PLS) [25], and independent vector analysis (IVA) [26], [27], discussed in III-A2;
- Single dataset multidimensional (SDM): x consists of a single dataset with one or more multidimensional sources, e.g., multidimensional independent component analysis (MICA) [28], [29] and independent subspace analysis (ISA) [30], [31], discussed in III-A3;
- Multiple dataset multidimensional (MDM): x contains one or more datasets, each containing one or more multidimensional sources that may group further with single or multidimensional sources from the remaining datasets, e.g., multidataset independent subspace analysis (MISA) [32], [33] and joint independent subspace analysis (JISA) [34], discussed in III-A4.
