Analysis of Geophysical Time Series Using Discrete Wavelet Transforms: An Overview
نویسنده
چکیده
Discrete wavelet transforms (DWTs) are mathematical tools that are useful for analyzing geophysical time series. The basic idea is to transform a time series into coefficients describing how the series varies over particular scales. One version of the DWT is the maximal overlap DWT (MODWT). The MODWT leads to two basic decompositions. The first is a scale-based analysis of variance known as the wavelet variance, and the second is a multiresolution analysis that reexpresses a time series as the sum of several new series, each of which is associated with a particular scale. Both decompositions are illustrated through examples involving Arctic sea ice and an Antarctic ice core. A second version of the DWT is the orthonormal DWT (ODWT), which can be extracted from the MODWT by subsampling. The relative strengths and weaknesses of the MODWT, the ODWT and the continuous wavelet transform are discussed.

Fixing of Cycle Slips in Dual-Frequency GPS Phase Observables using Discrete Wavelet Transforms
The occurrence of cycle slips is a major limiting factor for achievement of sub-decimeter accuracy in positioning with GPS (Global Positioning System). In the past, several authors introduced a method based on different combinations of GPS data together with Kalman filter to solve the problem of the cycle slips. In this paper the same philosophy is used but with discrete wavelet transforms. For...
متن کاملSome New Methods for Prediction of Time Series by Wavelets
Extended Abstract. Forecasting is one of the most important purposes of time series analysis. For many years, classical methods were used for this aim. But these methods do not give good performance results for real time series due to non-linearity and non-stationarity of these data sets. On one hand, most of real world time series data display a time-varying second order structure. On th...

The problem of change detection of time series with abrupt and smooth changes in the spectral characteristics is addressed. We first review the main characteristics of the discrete wavelet transform and the maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform. An algorithm for sequential change detection in time series is then reported based on the maximal overlap discrete wavelet transform and Bayesian ...
