Spectral estimation on the sphere with needlets: high frequency asymptotics
نویسندگان
چکیده
Abstract: The angular power spectrum of a stationary random field on the sphere is estimated from the needlet coefficients of a single realization, observed with increasingly fine resolution. The estimator we consider is similar to the one recently used in practice by (Faÿ et al. 2008) to estimate the power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The consistency of the estimator, in the asymptotics of high frequencies, is proved for a model with a stationary Gaussian field corrupted by heteroscedastic noise and missing data.

Spin 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...
متن کاملAsymptotics for spherical needlets
We investigate invariant random fields on the sphere using a new type of spherical wavelets, called needlets. These are compactly supported in frequency and enjoy excellent localization properties in real space, with quasi-exponentially decaying tails. We show that, for random fields on the sphere, the needlet coefficients are asymptotically uncorrelated for any fixed angular distance. This pro...
متن کاملA Novel Sampling Approach in GNSS-RO Receivers with Open Loop Tracking Method
Propagation of radio occultation (RO) signals through the lower troposphere results in high phase acceleration and low signal to noise ratio signal. The excess Doppler estimation accuracy in lower troposphere is very important in receiving RO signals which can be estimated by sliding window spectral analysis. To do this, various frequency estimation methods such as MUSIC and ESPRIT can be adopt...
متن کاملAsymptotic Uncorrelation for Mexican Needlets
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. Th...
متن کاملNon-parametric regression on the hyper-sphere with uniform design
This paper deals with the estimation of a function f defined on the sphere S of R from a sample of noisy observation points. We introduce an estimation procedure based on waveletlike functions on the sphere called needlets and study two estimators f and f respectively made adaptive through the use of a stochastic and deterministic needlet-shrinkage method. We show hereafter that these estimator...
