Transformed wavelet

The use of multiple sample injections (up to a maximum of three) was found to enhance S/N, i.e., the S/N is slightly higher than the square root of the number of injected sample plugs. In addition, multipoint detections of a two-component sample [700,701] or four-component sample [699] were also achieved, but the separation resolution was not as good as that obtained from the conventional single-point detection [701]. Besides Fourier transform, wavelet transform was also used in multipoint fluorescent detection to retain some time information in addition to the frequency information [702]. 

The half band decimation filter structure shown in Figure 13.5 gives rise to a family of filter based frequency transforms known as wavelet transforms. Instead of being based on sinusoids like the Fourier transform, wavelet transforms are based on the decomposition of signals into fairly arbitrary... 

Some of the commonly used algorithms for time-frequency representations of spectral estimates include the short-time Fourier transform (STFT), the Wigner-Ville transform, wavelet transforms, etc. A good summary of the mathematical basis of each of these techniques can be found in Ref. 11.

Signal analysis using Continuous Wavelet Transform... 

Among these techniques, the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is particularly well suited to the eddy current signal coming from the tube control, as shown in this paper, and provides efficient detection results. 

As for the Fourier Transform (FT), the Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT) is expressed by the mean of an inner product between the signal to analyze s(t) and a set of analyzing function ...

Furthermore, one may need to employ data transformation. For example, sometimes it might be a good idea to use the logarithms of variables instead of the variables themselves. Alternatively, one may take the square roots, or, in contrast, raise variables to the nth power. However, genuine data transformation techniques involve far more sophisticated algorithms. As examples, we shall later consider Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), Wavelet Transform and Singular Value Decomposition (SVD). 

Wavelet transformation (analysis) is considered as another and maybe even more powerful tool than FFT for data transformation in chemoinetrics, as well as in other fields. The core idea is to use a basis function ("mother wavelet") and investigate the time-scale properties of the incoming signal [8], As in the case of FFT, the Wavelet transformation coefficients can be used in subsequent modeling instead of the original data matrix (Figure 4-7). 

Widely used methods of data transformation are Fast Fourier and Wavelet Transformations or Singular Value Decomposition... 

As approximation schemes, wavelets trivially satisfy the Assumptions 1 and 2 of our framework. Both the Lf and the L°° error of approximation is decreased as we move to higher index spaces. More specifically, recent work (Kon and Raphael, 1993) has proved that the wavelet transform converges uniformly according to the formula...

Equation (6a) implies that the scale (dilation) parameter, m, is required to vary from - ac to + =. In practice, though, a process variable is measured at a finite resolution (sampling time), and only a finite number of distinct scales are of interest for the solution of engineering problems. Let m = 0 signify the finest temporal scale (i.e., the sampling interval at which a variable is measured) and m = Lbe coarsest desired scale. To capture the information contained at scales m > L, we define a scaling function, (r), whose Fourier transform is related to that of the wavelet, tf/(t), by... 

A wavelet defined as above is called a first-order wavelet. From Eq. (21) we conclude that the extrema points of the first-order wavelet transform provide the position of the inflexion points of the scaled signal at any level of scale. Similarly, if i/ (f) = d it)/dt, then the zero crossings of the wavelet transform correspond to the inflexion points of the original signal smoothed (i.e., scaled) by the scaling function, tj/it) (Mallat, 1991).

The combination of PCA and LDA is often applied, in particular for ill-posed data (data where the number of variables exceeds the number of objects), e.g. Ref. [46], One first extracts a certain number of principal components, deleting the higher-order ones and thereby reducing to some degree the noise and then carries out the LDA. One should however be careful not to eliminate too many PCs, since in this way information important for the discrimination might be lost. A method in which both are merged in one step and which sometimes yields better results than the two-step procedure is reflected discriminant analysis. The Fourier transform is also sometimes used [14], and this is also the case for the wavelet transform (see Chapter 40) [13,16]. In that case, the information is included in the first few Fourier coefficients or in a restricted number of wavelet coefficients. 

K v,t) is called the transform kernel. For the Fourier transform the kernel is e j ". Other transforms (see Section 40.8) are the Hadamard, wavelet and the Laplace transforms [4].
