Wavelet coefficients having small * absolute value are considered to encode mostly noise and very fine details * of the signal. In contrast, the important information is encoded by the * coefficients having large absolute value. Removing the small absolute value * coefficients and then reconstructing the signal should produce signal with * lesser amount of noise. The wavelet shrinkage approach can be summarized as * follows: * <ol> * <li> Apply the wavelet transform to the signal. * <li> Estimate a threshold value. * <li> The so-called hard thresholding method zeros the coefficients that are * smaller than the threshold and leaves the other ones unchanged. In contrast, * the soft thresholding scales the remaining coefficients in order to form a * continuous distribution of the coefficients centered on zero. * <li> Reconstruct the signal (apply the inverse wavelet transform). * </ol> * The biggest challenge in the wavelet shrinkage approach is finding an * appropriate threshold value. In this class, we use the universal threshold * T = σ sqrt(2*log(N)), where N is the length of time series * and σ is the estimate of standard deviation of the noise by the * so-called scaled median absolute deviation (MAD) computed from the high-pass * wavelet coefficients of the first level of the transform. * * @author Haifeng Li */ public class WaveletShrinkage { /** * Adaptive hard-thresholding denoising a time series with given wavelet. * * @param t the time series array.
