A list of methods, their abbreviations and short descriptions.

Method Abbreviation Description
Principal component analysis PCA It finds linearly uncorrelated components in a given dataset. The successive components explain a decreasing amount of variance.
Independent component analysis ICA It finds statistically independent components in a given dataset and removes noise and separates artifacts.
Non-negative matrix factorization NMF It finds a parts-based representation with each component accounting for a particular segment of the data space.
Cosine series It is a pre-defined set of components. It is used to obtain projected amplitudes like components from the other methods.
jPCA It uses components defined by PCA and reorients them so that the projected amplitudes show a strong oscillation over time.
