Abstract. We propose a "time-biased" and a "space-biased" method for
spatiotemporal independent component analysis (ICA). The methods rely
on computing an orthogonal approximate joint diagonalizer of a collection
of covariance-like matrices. In the time-biased version, the time signatures
of the ICA modes are imposed to be white, whereas the space-biased ver-
sion imposes the same condition on the space signatures. We apply the
two methods to the analysis of gene expression data, where the genes play
the role of the space and the cell samples stand for the time. This study
