BACKGROUND

[0002] In signal processing, independent component analysis (ICA) is a computational method for separating a multivariate signal into additive subcomponents. This is done by assuming that the subcomponents are non-Gaussian signals and are statistically independent of each other. ICA is a special case of blind source separation. A common example application of independent component analysis (also known as factor analysis) is the "cocktail party problem" of listening to one person's speech in a noisy room.

[0003] Machine learning regression fitting is to use certain basis functions to represent known data by linear combination thereof, for fitting the mutual functional relationship of the obtained data. Among them, the basis function can select sigmoid function. Sigmoid function is also called Logistic function, the value range is (0, 1), which can be used for binary classification, and the effect is better when the feature difference is relatively complex or not particularly large.
