REQUIRE DataFrames?
Why does this package require DataFrames? I cannot find any reference (except in a comment) to the package; though I am no DataFrames expert.
More of a curiosity than anything; I was surprised to see it installed alongside this tool.
That requirement is probably just an anachronism and should get taken out. I'm going to make some changes to the package today, so I'll deal with that at the same time.
Sounds great. In a related note, I noticed that ICA is deprecated. Is there a reason for this, and/or a recommended replacement? If not, I will start implementing a version this weekend for my own work and would be happy to give you a pull request when it is completed.
The ICA implementation seems pretty unreliable. Arguably it should be removed, but it's just deprecated for now in case somebody wants to work on it.
I need it for some work, so if I have time I'll see what I can do to clean it up or write a fresh implementation.

That would be great. We really need somebody who knows ICA well to work on it.
Haven't forgotten this. I underestimated how long a reliable implementation would take from scratch; hopefully when school calms down I can get back on it.
