Statistical Modeling by Wavelets

A comprehensive, step-by-step introduction to wavelets in statistics. What are wavelets? What makes them increasingly indispensable in statistical nonparametrics? Why are they suitable for «time-scale» applications? How are they used to solve such problems as denoising, regression, or density estimation? Where can one find up-to-date information on these newly «discovered» mathematical objects? These are some of the questions Brani Vidakovic answers in Statistical Modeling by Wavelets. Providing a much-needed introduction to the latest tools afforded statisticians by wavelet theory, Vidakovic compiles, organizes, and explains in depth research data previously available on…
