TY - JOUR AB - In blind source separation, one assumes that the observed p time series are linear combinations of p latent uncorrelated weakly stationary time series. To estimate the unmixing matrix, which transforms the observed time series back to uncorrelated latent time series, second-order blind identification (SOBI) uses joint diagonalization of the covariance matrix and autocovariance matrices with several lags. In this article, we find the limiting distribution of the well-known symmetric SOBI estimator under general conditions and compare its asymptotical efficiencies to those of the recently introduced deflation-based SOBI estimator. The theory is illustrated by some finite-sample simulation studies. AU - Miettinen, J.* AU - Illner, K. AU - Nordhausen, K.* AU - Oja, H.* AU - Taskinen, S.* AU - Theis, F.J.
