Asymptotic Uncorrelation for Mexican Needlets
نویسنده
چکیده
Abstract We recall Mexican needlets from [5]. We derive an estimate for certain types of Legendre series, which we apply to the statistical properties of Mexican needlets. More precisely, we shall show that, under isotropy and Gaussianity assumptions, the Mexican needlet coefficients of a random field on the sphere are asymptotically uncorrelated, as the frequency parameter goes to infinity. This property is important in the analysis of cosmic microwave background radiation.

Localisation of directional scale-discretised wavelets on the sphere
Scale-discretised wavelets yield a directional wavelet framework on the sphere where a signal can be probed not only in scale and position but also in orientation. Furthermore, a signal can be synthesised from its wavelet coefficients exactly, in theory and practice (to machine precision). Scale-discretised wavelets are closely related to spherical needlets (both were developed independently at...
متن کاملSubsampling needlet coefficients on the sphere
In a recent paper, we analyzed the properties of a new kind of spherical wavelets (called needlets) for statistical inference procedures on spherical random fields; the investigation was mainly motivated by applications to cosmological data. In the present work, we exploit the asymptotic uncorrelation of random needlet coefficients at fixed angular distances to construct subsampling statistics ...

متن کاملOn The Dependence Structure of Wavelet Coefficients for Spherical Random Fields∗
We consider the correlation structure of the random coefficients for a class of wavelet systems on the sphere (labelled Mexican needlets) which was recently introduced in the literature by [15]. We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for these coefficients to be asymptotic uncorrelated in the real and in the frequency domain. Here, the asymptotic theory is developed in the high frequenc...
متن کاملSpin Needlets Spectral Estimation
We consider the statistical analysis of random sections of a spin fibre bundle over the sphere. These may be thought of as random fields that at each point p ∈ S2 take as a value a curve (e.g. an ellipse) living in the tangent plane at that point TpS 2, rather than a number as in ordinary situations. The analysis of such fields is strongly motivated by applications, for instance polarization ex...
