ABSTRACT:

In certain applications of independent component analysis (ICA) it any of interest to test hypotheses concerning the number of components or simply to test whether a given number of components is significant relative to a ``white noise'' null hypothesis. We estimate probabilities of such competing hypotheses for ICA based on dynamic decorrelation. The probabilities are evaluated in the so-called Bayesian information criterion approximation, however, they are able to detect the content of dynamic components as efficient as an unbiased test set estimator.
