Illustration of an example for an extedned SeDJoCo transformation.

The extended “Sequentially Drilled” Joint Congruence (SeDJoCo) transformation is a special joint matrix transformation, reminiscent of (but different from) classical joint diagonalization. Interestingly, it turns out that the Maximum Likelihood (ML) solution for the Independent Vector Analysis (IVA) problem with a Gaussian model takes the form of an extended SeDJoCo problem.

This package contains five files: a (readme) detailed instruction file, two functions for an iterative solution of extended SeDJoCo—iterative relaxations and Newton’s method—and two scripts which demonstrate their operation. The first script solves a generic problem, while the second demonstrates how it is used for the computation of the ML solution of a Gaussian IVA problem. For more details, see [1].
