 # BSSPackage
 Simplified illustration of blind-source separation algorithms
+
+### Student Name: Jiwoong Jason Jeong
+### Student Email: jjjeon3@emory.edu
+***
+### Question 1:
+##### Part A and B 
+See attached picture 'BMI500_lab11_q1.JPG'
+***
+### Question 2:
+##### Part A
+I created a simple power method calculation of the eigenvalues as 
+'powerMethod.m'. Using that code, when you run the following:
+>> powerMethod([1;1],C,1/100)
+you get the eigenvalues to be 3.9069 and 2.4614.
+
+I didn't see that there was a power analysis code provided but it does
+the same thing.
+##### Part B
+See attached figure 'BMI_lab11_q2b.jpg'
+***
+### Question 3:
+##### Part A
+###### Ex01
+I didn't change the code that much at all other than changing to a 
+different example (example 2: SampleECG2) and test turning on or off the
+lowpass filter. Example 2 is different from the first example but the 
+biggest change was from the lowpass filter. When the lowpass filter was 
+removed, the time variant aspect of the signal was not filtered out and the
+final plots were not on a uniform/horizontal axis. When the lowpass filter
+is on, all plots are normalized/had the time variance removed and was much
+easier to see the harmonic signals.
+###### Ex02
+It was a simple power method of analyzing the eigenvalues so I just changed
+the number of channels to 2. As expected, changing the number of channels
+changes it to a 2x2 matrix and 2x1 eigenvector. Additionally, the number of
+iterations was changed to 1000. The accuracy of the power method increased
+as the number of iterations increased, which was expected.
+###### Ex03
+I only changed the sampling frequency (fs) from 500 to 1000 and the results
+were changed as we expected. The signal length was doubled from 1,500 to 
+3,000. Other than that, there really wasn't any unexpected changes. I also
+changed the g ('pow3', 'tanh', 'gauss', 'skew') and didn't see much
+differences between them except for the 'skew' where the signals were very
+different. Which seems to indicate that choosing the nonlinearity is fairly
+important.
+###### Ex04
+Ran the code by halving the sampling frequency (fs) from 250 to 125 but did
+not see much of a difference if at all which may suggest that the code is
+robust to sampling frequency. I did run a second dataset (EEGdata2) but it
+was too much for my computer to handle so I stopped it early. However, the
+second dataset seemed to look more interesting as there were time variances
+within the dataset. JADE seems to be a BSS method or implementation.
+###### Ex05
+I ran the last example for my ex05. As I understand, denoises the mixed
+maternal and fetal signals and then analyzes each based on the different 
+components of the signal using different algorithms like JADE. Beyond this,
+I did not understand the code very well.
+***
+### Question 4:
+##### Part A
+Chosen paper: 
+A comparison of PCA, KPCA and ICA for dimensionality 
+reduction in support vector machine
+
+Summary: The paper discussed and showed the effectiveness of applying 
+different component analyses namely, principal component analysis (PCA), 
+kernel principal component analysis (KPCA) and independent component 
+analysis (ICA) on a failry simple machine learning model (support vector
+machine (SVM)). While machine learning methods extract features, the 
+importance of those features may be questionable and sometimes may be 
+confounding noise. These component analysis methods allow the extraction
+of the most relevant features for the model to analyze and learn for their 
+tasks. They have shown in their paper that KPCA performed the best which
+makes sense as in deep learning models, convolutional layers with kernels
+are used to extract features like edges. As I understand, the KPCA allows
+the extraction of specific principle components which can not be linearly
+separated. This increases the accuracy of SVM.
+
+As for the pseudo code of the KPCA algorithm, it's pretty much the same as
+linear PCA (eigen analysis) but with the addition of the kernel that
+converts the data into a "feature space" to perform the linear PCA on.
