Is the FastICA R implementation as good as the MatLab Implementation ? I would appreciate talking to someone who has used FastICA for R.
The fastICA packages for Matlab and R (and there is even a version for Python) have a common origin at the Helsinki University of Technology.
Have you actually looked at the R one? The code has no connection with Helsinki University of Technology. 'Credit where credit is due' and all that.
Oh yes, you are right and I am sorry.
I started working with fastICA for Matlab and referring to the page
http://www.cis.hut.fi/projects/ica/fastica/
and its uncommented link to "fastICA in R" I always assumed it uses the same
code base (never looking at 'credits').
Well, then you are the right person to answer this question.

Or quite possibly someone else using Mr Borchers name.
Not really.
