چکیده

Recently, it was suggested that spectrum estimation can be accomplished by applying wavelet denoising methodology to wavelet packet coefficients derived from the logarithm of a spectrum estimate. The particular algorithm we consider consists of computing the logarithm of the multitaper spectrum estimator, applying an orthonormal transform derived from a wavelet packet tree to the log multitaper spectrum ordinates, thresholding the empirical wavelet packet coefficients, and then inverting the transform. For a small number of tapers, suitable transforms/partitions for the logarithm of the multitaper spectrum estimator are derived using a method matched to statistical thresholding properties. The partitions thus derived starting from different stationary time series are all similar and easily derived, and any differences between the wavelet packet and discrete wavelet transform (DWT) approaches are minimal. For a larger number of tapers, where the chosen parameters satisfy the conditions of a proven theorem, the simple DWT again emerges as appropriate. Hence, using our approach to thresholding and the method of partitioning, we conclude that the DWT approach is a very adequate wavelet-based approach and that the use of wavelet packets is unnecessary.

Wavelet Packet Thresholding and Spectrum Estimation

We consider the recent suggestion that spectrum estimation can be accomplished by applying wavelet denoising methodology to wavelet packet coefficients derived from the logarithm of a spectrum estimate.

Spectrum estimation by wavelet thresholding of multitaper estimators

Current methods for power spectrum estimation by wavelet thresholding use the empirical wavelet coefficients derived from the log periodogram. Unfortunately, the periodogram is a very poor estimate when the true spectrum has a high dynamic range and/or is rapidly varying. Also, because the distribution of the log periodogram is markedly non-Gaussian, special waveletdependent thresholding scheme...

Wavelet thresholding techniques for power spectrum estimation

Estimation of the power spectrum S( f ) of a stationary random process can be viewed as a nonparametric statistical estimation problem. We introduce a nonparametric approach based on a wavelet representation for the logarithm of the unknown S( f ). This approach offers the ability to capture statistically significant components of lnS( f ) at different resolution levels and guarantees nonnegati...

Transient Detection in Impulsive Noise Using Low-Variance Spectrum Estimation

This paper considers the problem of detecting unknown bandpass acoustic transients in highly impulsive ambient noise such as that produced by snapping shrimp. Standard transient detection techniques apply the periodogram which is a classical direct nonparametric spectrum estimation method. The periodogram can be limited due to its poor bias properties resulting from substantial sidelobe leakage...

Wavelet smoothing of evolutionary spectra by non–linear thresholding

We consider wavelet estimation of the time–dependent (evolutionary) power spectrum of a locally stationary time series. Hereby, wavelets are used to provide an adaptive local smoothing of a short–time periodogram in the time–frequency plane. For this, in contrast to classical nonparametric (linear) approaches we use non–linear thresholding of the empirical wavelet coefficients. We show how thes...
