. Valid built-in orthogonal wavelet families begin with haar, dbN, fkN, coifN, or symN where N is the number of vanishing moments for all families except fk.
For fk, N is the number of filter coefficients. Valid biorthogonal wavelet families begin with 'biorNr.Nd' or 'rbioNd.Nr', where Nr and Nd are the number of vanishing moments in the reconstruction (synthesis) and decomposition (analysis) wavelet. Determine valid values for the vanishing moments by using with the wavelet family short name. For example, enter waveinfo('db') or waveinfo('bior').
This MATLAB function returns the soft or hard thresholding, indicated by sorh, of the vector or matrix X. Y = wthresh(X,sorh,T) returns the soft or hard thresholding, indicated by sorh. Soft thresholding is wavelet shrinkage.

Use wavemngr('type',WNAME) to determine if a wavelet is orthogonal (returns 1) or biorthogonal (returns 2). Bayes - Empirical Bayes This method uses a threshold rule based on assuming measurements have independent prior distributions given by a mixture model. Because measurements are used to estimate the weight in the mixture model, the method tends to work better with more samples. By default, the posterior median rule is used to measure risk. BlockJS - Block James-Stein This method is based on determining an `optimal block size and threshold.
The resulting block thresholding estimator yields simultaneously optimal global and local adaptivity. FDR - False Discovery Rate This method uses a threshold rule based on controlling the expected ratio of false positive detections to all positive detections. The FDR method works best with sparse data. Choosing a ratio, or Q-value, less than 1/2 yields an asymptotically minimax estimator. Minimax - Minimax Estimation This method uses a fixed threshold chosen to yield minimax performance for mean square error against an ideal procedure.
The minimax principle is used in statistics to design estimators. See for more information. SURE - Stein's Unbiased Risk Estimate This method uses a threshold selection rule based on Stein’s Unbiased Estimate of Risk (quadratic loss function). One gets an estimate of the risk for a particular threshold value ( t). Minimizing the risks in ( t) gives a selection of the threshold value. UniversalThreshold - Universal Threshold 2 ln ( length ( x ) ). This method uses a fixed-form threshold yielding minimax performance multiplied by a small factor proportional to log(length(X)).

Decomposition — Choose a wavelet, and choose a level N. Compute the wavelet decomposition of the signal s at level N. Detail coefficients thresholding — For each level from 1 to N, select a threshold and apply soft thresholding to the detail coefficients. Reconstruction — Compute wavelet reconstruction based on the original approximation coefficients of level N and the modified detail coefficients of levels from 1 to N. More details about threshold selection rules are in and in the help of the function.
Wavelet Noise Thresholding Wavelet Noise Thresholding The wavelet coefficients calculated by a wavelet transform represent change in the time series at a particular resolution. By looking at the time series in various resolutions it should be possible to filter out noise. At least in theory. However, the definition of noise is a difficult one.
One of my colleagues commented once that 'one person's noise is another's signal'. In part this depends on the resolution one is looking at.
One algorithm to remove Gaussian white noise is summarized in section 10.5, Chapter 10, of Wavelet Methods for Time Series Analysis by Percival and Walden. The algorithm is:. Calculate a wavelet transform and order the coefficients by increasing frequency. This will result in an array containing the time series average plus a set of coefficients of length 1, 2, 4, 8. The noise threshold will be calculated on the highest frequency coefficient spectrum (this is the largest spectrum). Calculate the median absolute deviation on the largest coefficient spectrum.
The median is calculated from the absolute value of the coefficients. The equation for the median absolute deviation is shown below: Here c 0, c 1, etc. Are the coefficients. The factor 0.6745 in the denominator rescales the numerator so that is also a suitable estimator for the standard deviation for Gaussian white noise (Wavelet Methods for Time Series Analysis). For calculating the noise threshold I have used a modified version of the equation in Wavelet Methods for Time Series Analysis.
This equation has been discussed in papers by D.L. Donoho and I.M. This equation is shown below: In this equation N is the size of the time series.
Apply a thresholding algorithm to the coefficients. There are two popular versions:. Hard thresholding. Hard thresholding sets any coefficient less than or equal to the threshold to zero.
