Larger Posterior Mode Wavelet Thresholding and Applications
نویسندگان
چکیده
This paper explores the thresholding rules induced by a variation of the Bayesian MAP principle. The MAP rules are Bayes actions that maximize the posterior. The proposed rule is thresholding and always picks the mode of the posterior larger in absolute value, thus the name LPM. We demonstrate that the introduced shrinkage performs comparably to several popular shrinkage techniques. The exact risk properties of the thresholding rule are explored, as well. We provide extensive simulational analysis and apply the proposed methodology to real-life experimental data coming from the field of Atomic Force Microscopy.

Pervasive white and colored noise removing from magnetotelluric time series
Magnetotellurics is an exploration method which is based on measurement of natural electric and magnetic fields of the Earth and is increasingly used in geological applications, petroleum industry, geothermal sources detection and crust and lithosphere studies. In this work, discrete wavelet transform of magnetotelluric signals was performed. Discrete wavelet transform decomposes signals into c...
متن کاملWavelet Thresholding via a Bayesian Approach
We discuss a Bayesian formalism which gives rise to a type of wavelet threshold estimation in non-parametric regression. A prior distribution is imposed on the wavelet coe cients of the unknown response function, designed to capture the sparseness of wavelet expansion common to most applications. For the prior speci ed, the posterior median yields a thresholding procedure. Our prior model for t...
متن کاملOn posterior distribution of Bayesian wavelet thresholding
We investigate the posterior rate of convergence for wavelet shrinkage using a Bayesian approach in general Besov spaces. Instead of studying the Bayesian estimator related to a particular loss function, we focus on the posterior distribution itself from a nonparametric Bayesian asymptotics point of view and study its rate of convergence. We obtain the same rate as in Abramovich et al. (2004) w...
متن کاملRegression , Density and Spectral Density Estimation
We consider posterior inference in wavelet based models for non-parametric regression with unequally spaced data, density estimation and spectral density estimation. The common theme in all three applications is the lack of posterior independence for the wavelet coe cients djk . In contrast, most commonly considered applications of wavelet decompositions in Statistics are based on a setup which...
متن کاملA Correlation - Dependent Model for Denoising viaNonorthogonal Wavelet
In many applications it is desirable to study nonorthogonal wavelet transforms. A translation-invariant wavelet transform is a nonorthogonal variant of the classical wavelet transform which plays an important role in denoising algorithms. However, it has been observed in many experiments that the thresholding scheme for the orthogonal DWT should be slightly modiied for use in the translation-in...
