BOOTSTRAP WAVELET IN THE NONPARAMETRIC REGRESSION MODEL WITH WEAKLY DEPENDENT PROCESSES

This paper introduces a method of bootstrap wavelet estimation in a nonparametric regression model with weakly dependent processes for both fixed and random designs. The asymptotic bounds for the bias and variance of the bootstrap wavelet estimators are given in the fixed design model. The conditional normality for a modified version of the bootstrap wavelet estimators is obtained in the fixed model. The consistency for the bootstrap wavelet estimator is also proved in the random design model. These results show that the bootstrap wavelet method is valid for the model with weakly dependent processes.     

Stochastic expansions in an overcomplete wavelet dictionary

We consider random functions defined in terms of members of an overcomplete wavelet dictionary. The function is modelled as a sum of wavelet components at arbitrary positions and scales where the locations of the wavelet components and the magnitudes of their coefficients are chosen with respect to a marked Poisson process model. The relationships between the parameters of the model and the parameters of those Besov spaces within which realizations will fall are investigated. The models allow functions with specified regularity properties to be generated. They can potentially be used as priors in a Bayesian approach to curve estimation, extending current standard wavelet methods to be free from the dyadic positions and scales of the basis functions.

随机设计下非参数回归模型变点的小波检测与估计

A wavelet method of detection and estimation of change points in nonparametric regression models under random design is proposed. The confidence bound of our test is derived by using the test statistics based on empirical wavelet coefficients as obtained by wavelet transformation of the data which is observed with noise. Moreover, the consistence of the test is proved while the rate of convergence is given. The method turns out to be effective after being tested on simulated examples and applied to IBM stock market data.     

Construction of stationary self-similar generalized fields by random wavelet expansion

Random wavelet expansion is introduced in the study of stationary self-similar generalized random fields. It is motivated by a model of natural images, in which 2D views of objects are randomly scaled and translated because the objects are randomly distributed in the 3D space. It is demonstrated that any stationary self-similar random field defined on the dual space of a Schwartz space of smooth rapidly decreasing functions has a random wavelet expansion representation. To explicitly construct stationary self-similar random fields, random wavelet expansion representations incorporating random functionals of the following three types are considered: (1) a multiple stochastic integral over the product domain of scale and translate, (2) an iterated one, first integrating over the scale domain, and (3) an iterated one, first integrating over the translate domain. We show that random wavelet expansion gives rise to a variety of stationary self-similar random fields, including such well-known processes as the linear fractional stable motions.

On the block thresholding wavelet estimators with censored data

We consider block thresholding wavelet-based density estimators with randomly right-censored data and investigate their asymptotic convergence rates. Unlike for the complete data case, the empirical wavelet coefficients are constructed through the Kaplan-Meier estimators of the distribution functions in the censored data case. On the basis of a result of Stute [W. Stute, The central limit theorem under random censorship, Ann. Statist. 23 (1995) 422-439] that approximates the Kaplan-Meier integrals as averages of i.i.d. random variables with a certain rate in probability, we can show that these wavelet empirical coefficients can be approximated by averages of i.i.d. random variables with a certain error rate in L². Therefore we can show that these estimators, based on block thresholding of empirical wavelet coefficients, achieve optimal convergence rates over a large range of Besov function classes , p≥2, q≥1 and nearly optimal convergence rates when 1≤p<2. We also show that these estimators achieve optimal convergence rates over a large class of functions that involve many irregularities of a wide variety of types, including chirp and Doppler functions, and jump discontinuities. Therefore, in the presence of random censoring, wavelet estimators still provide extensive adaptivity to many irregularities of large function classes. The performance of the estimators is tested via a modest simulation study.     

A Fourier formulation of the Frostman criterion for random graphs and its applications to wavelet series

In the paper by F. Roueff “Almost sure Hausdorff dimensions of graphs of random wavelet series” [J. Fourier Anal. Appl., to appear] lower bounds of the Hausdorff dimension of the graphs of random wavelet series (RWS) have been obtained essentially under the hypothesis that the wavelet coefficients have a bounded probability density function (p.d.f.) with respect to the Lebesgue measure. In this article we extend these lower bounds to classes of RWS that do not satisfy this hypothesis.     

Estimation of Time Varying Linear Systems

Based on kernel and wavelet estimators of the evolutionary spectrum and cross-spectrum we propose nonlinear wavelet estimators of the time varying coefficients of a linear system, whose input and output are locally stationary processes, in the sense of Dahlhaus (1997). We obtain large sample properties of these estimators, present some simulated examples and derive results on the L ₂-risk for the wavelet threshold estimators, assuming that the coefficients belong to some smoothness class. This revised version was published online in June 2006 with corrections to the Cover Date.     

A wavelet analysis of the Rosenblatt process: Chaos expansion and estimation of the self-similarity parameter

By using chaos expansion into multiple stochastic integrals, we make a wavelet analysis of two self-similar stochastic processes: the fractional Brownian motion and the Rosenblatt process. We study the asymptotic behavior of the statistic based on the wavelet coefficients of these processes. Basically, when applied to a non-Gaussian process (such as the Rosenblatt process) this statistic satisfies a non-central limit theorem even when we increase the number of vanishing moments of the wavelet function. We apply our limit theorems to construct estimators for the self-similarity index and we illustrate our results by simulations.     

Wavelet-based analysis of non-Gaussian long-range dependent processes and estimation of the hurst parameter

In this contribution, the statistical performance of the wavelet-based estimation procedure for the Hurst parameter is studied for non-Gaussian long-range dependent processes obtained from point transformations of Gaussian processes. The statistical properties of the wavelet coefficients and the estimation performance are compared both for processes having the same covariance but different marginal distributions and for processes having the same covariance and same marginal distributions but obtained from different point transformations, analyzed using mother wavelets with different number of vanishing moments. It is shown that the reduction of the dependence range from long to short by increasing the number of vanishing moments, observed for Gaussian processes, and at the origin of the popularity of the wavelet-based estimator, does not hold in general for non-Gaussian processes. Crucially, it is also observed that the Hermite rank of the point transformation impacts significantly the statistical properties of the wavelet coefficients and the estimation performance and also that processes having identical marginal distributions and covariance function can yet yield significantly different estimation performance. These results are interpreted in the light of central and noncentral limit theorems that are fundamental when dealing with long-range dependent processes. Moreover, it will be shown that, on condition that estimation is performed using a range of scales restricted to the coarsest practically available, an approximate, yet analytical and simple to use in practice, formula can be proposed for the evaluation of the variance of the wavelet-based estimator of the Hurst parameter.     

Wavelet analysis and covariance structure of some classes of non-stationary processes

Processes with stationary n-increments are known to be characterized by the stationarity of their continuous wavelet coefficients. We extend this result to the case of processes with stationary fractional increments and locally stationary processes. Then we give two applications of these properties. First, we derive the explicit covariance structure of processes with stationary n-increments. Second, for fractional Brownian motion, the stationarity of the fractional increments of order greater than the Hurst exponent is recovered.     

Singularity sets of Lévy processes

We completely describe the size and large intersection properties of the Hölder singularity sets of Lévy processes. We also study the set of times at which a given function cannot be a modulus of continuity of a Lévy process. The Hölder singularity sets of the sample paths of certain random wavelet series are investigated as well.     

Signal analysis based on complex wavelet signs

We propose a signal analysis tool based on the sign (or the phase) of complex wavelet coefficients, which we call a signature. The signature is defined as the fine-scale limit of the signs of a signal's complex wavelet coefficients. We show that the signature equals zero at sufficiently regular points of a signal whereas at salient features, such as jumps or cusps, it is non-zero. At such feature points, the orientation of the signature in the complex plane can be interpreted as an indicator of local symmetry and antisymmetry. We establish that the signature rotates in the complex plane under fractional Hilbert transforms. We show that certain random signals, such as white Gaussian noise and Brownian motions, have a vanishing signature. We derive an appropriate discretization and show the applicability to signal analysis.     

Nonparametric regression on random fields with random design using wavelet method

We consider non-linear wavelet-based estimators of spatial regression functions with (known) random design on strictly stationary random fields, which are indexed by the integer lattice points in the \(N\)-dimensional Euclidean space and are assumed to satisfy some mixing conditions. We investigate their asymptotic rates of convergence based on thresholding of empirical wavelet coefficients and show that these estimators achieve nearly optimal convergence rates within a logarithmic term over a large range of Besov function classes \(B^{s}_{p,q}\). Therefore, wavelet estimators still achieve nearly optimal convergence rates for random fields and provide explicitly the extraordinary local adaptability.

Existence of mild solutions for stochastic differential equations and semilinear equations with non-Gaussian Lévy noise

Existence and uniqueness of the mild solutions for stochastic differential equations for Hilbert valued stochastic processes are discussed, with the multiplicative noise term given by an integral with respect to a general compensated Poisson random measure. Parts of the results allow for coefficients which can depend on the entire past path of the solution process. In the Markov case Yosida approximations are also discussed, as well as continuous dependence on initial data, and coefficients. The case of coefficients that besides the dependence on the solution process have also an additional random dependence is also included in our treatment. All results are proven for processes with values in separable Hilbert spaces. Differentiable dependence on the initial condition is proven by adapting a method of S. Cerrai.     

M-estimation of wavelet variance

The wavelet variance provides a scale-based decomposition of the process variance for a time series or a random field and has been used to analyze various multiscale processes. Examples of such processes include atmospheric pressure, deviations in time as kept by atomic clocks, soil properties in agricultural plots, snow fields in the polar regions and brightness temperature maps of South Pacific clouds. In practice, data collected in the form of a time series or a random field often suffer from contamination that is unrelated to the process of interest. This paper introduces a scale-based contamination model and describes robust estimation of the wavelet variance that can guard against such contamination. A new M-estimation procedure that works for both time series and random fields is proposed, and its large sample theory is deduced. As an example, the robust procedure is applied to cloud data obtained from a satellite.     

Adaptive wavelet methods for elliptic partial differential equations with random operators

We apply adaptive wavelet methods to boundary value problems with random coefficients, discretized by wavelets in the spatial domain and tensorized polynomials in the parameter domain. Greedy algorithms control the approximate application of the fully discretized random operator, and the construction of sparse approximations to this operator. We suggest a power iteration for estimating errors induced by sparse approximations of linear operators.
