A scale-space approach with wavelets to singularity estimation

چکیده

This paper is concerned with the problem of determining the typical features of a curve when it is observed with noise. It has been shown that one can characterize the Lipschitz singularities of a signal by following the propagation across scales of the modulus maxima of its continuous wavelet transform. A nonparametric approach, based on appropriate thresholding of the empirical wavelet coefficients, is proposed to estimate the wavelet maxima of a signal observed with noise at various scales. In order to identify the singularities of the unknown signal, we introduce a new tool, “the structural intensity”, that computes the “density” of the location of the modulus maxima of a wavelet representation along various scales. This approach is shown to be an effective technique for detecting the significant singularities of a signal corrupted by noise and for removing spurious estimates. The asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators are studied and illustrated by simulations. An application to a real data set is also proposed.

Estimation of fractional Brownian motion embedded in a noisy environment using nonorthogonal wavelets

We show that non orthogonal wavelets can characterize the frac tional Brownian motion fBm that is in white noise We demonstrate the point that discriminating the parameter of a fBm from that of noise is equivalent to discriminating the composite singularity formed by superimposing a peak singularity upon a Dirac singularity We characterize the composite singularity by formalizing this problem a...

Depth estimation of gravity anomalies by S-transform of analytic signal

The S-transform has widely been used in the analysis of non-stationary time series. A simple method to obtain depth estimates of gravity field sources is introduced in this study. We have developed a new method based on the spectral characteristics of downward continuation to estimate depth of structures. This calculation procedure is based on replacement of the Fourier transform with the S-Tra...

An Additive Model for Estimation Return to Scale in Regulated Environment with Quasi-Fixed Inputs in Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA)

The measurement of RTS amounts measures a relationship between inputs and outputs in a production structure. There are many different ways to calculate RTS in primal or dual space. But in more realistic cases, governments usually intervene on DMU’s behavior as regulatory agency, this clearly represent a set of limitations and restrictions on behaviors of DMUs, So very few decisions in DMUs are ...

Distance function wavelets - Part III: "Exotic" transforms and series

Part III of the reports consists of various unconventional distance function wavelets (DFW). The dimension and the order of partial differential equation (PDE) are first used as a substitute of the scale parameter in the DFW transform and series, especially with the space and time-space potential problems. It is noted that the recursive multiple reciprocity formulation is the DFW series. The Gr...
