Waveshrink with Firm Shrinkage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Donoho and Johnstone’s (1994) WaveShrink procedure has proven valuable for signal de-noising and non-parametric regression. WaveShrink has very broad asymptotic near-optimality properties. In this paper, we introduce a new shrinkage scheme, firm, which generalizes the hard and soft shrinkage proposed by Donoho and Johnstone (1994). We derive minimax thresholds and provide formulas for computing the pointwise variance, bias, and risk for WaveShrink with firm shrinkage. We study the properties of the shrinkage functions, and demonstrate that firm shrinkage offers advantages over both hard shrinkage (uniformly smaller risk and less sensitivity to small perturbations in the data) and soft shrinkage (smaller bias and overall L2 risk). Software is provided to reproduce all results in this paper.

Wavelet shrinkage (WaveShrink) is a relatively new technique for nonparametric function estimation that has been shown to have asymptotic near-optimality properties over a wide class of functions. As originally formulated by Donoho and Johnstone, WaveShrink assumes equally spaced data. Because so many statistical applications (e.g., scatterplot smoothing) naturally involve unequally spaced data...

For the problem of signal extraction from noisy data, Waveshrink and Basis Pursuit have proven to be powerful tools both from an empirical and asymptotic point of view. The two procedures are especially eecient at estimating spatially inhomogeneous signals. They are however based on the assumption of Gaussian noise, and in practice the performance of Waveshrink and Basis Pursuit is severely alt...

| For the problem of signal extraction from noisy data, Waveshrink has proven to be a powerful tool both from an empirical and asymptotic point of view. Waveshrink is especially eecient at estimating spatially inhomogeneous signals. A key step of the procedure is the selection of the threshold parameter. Donoho and Johnstone propose a selection of the threshold based on a minimax principle. The...
متن کاملCompressed Sensing Recovery via Nonconvex Shrinkage Penalties
The ` minimization of compressed sensing is often relaxed to `, which yields easy computation using the shrinkage mapping known as soft thresholding, and can be shown to recover the original solution under certain hypotheses. Recent work has derived a general class of shrinkages and associated nonconvex penalties that better approximate the original ` penalty and empirically can recover the ori...
متن کاملEarly Age Shrinkage Behavior of Triple Blend Concrete
The early age shrinkage is responsible for the early age cracking of concrete. It is very critical for durability of concrete. The change in volume of concrete due to evaporation of water or dehydration process is known as shrinkage. To reduce the early age shrinkage utilized the supplementary cementitious material (SCM) in concrete. In present research industrial and agricultural waste byprodu...
