Determining the optimal number of independent components for reproducible transcriptomic data analysis

Abstract Background Independent Component Analysis (ICA) is a method that models gene expression data as an action of a set of statistically independent hidden factors. The output of ICA depends on a fundamental parameter: the number of components (factors) to compute. The optimal choice of this par...
