Wavelet Filters

The factor Vl/ 2 is introduced to keep the intensity of the signal unchanged. The 8 first wavelet transform coefficients are the a or smooth components. The last eight coefficients are the d or detail components. In the next step, the level 2 components are calculated by applying the transformation matrix, corresponding to the level on the original signal. This transformation matrix contains 4 wavelet filter...

Nonlinear PCA To address the nonlinearity in the identity mapping of multivariate data, a nonlinear counterpart of the PCA can be used (see Section 3.6.1). As the versions of NLPCA make use of the neural network (NN) concept to address the nonlinearity, they suffer from the known overparameterization problem in the case of noise corrupted data. Data with small SNR will also give rise to extensive computations during the training of the network. Shao et al. [266] used wavelet filtering to pre-process the data followed by IT-net to detect the non-conforming trends in an industrial spray drier.

The basis functions, or wavelets,, are dilated and translated versions of a wavelet mother function. A set of wavelets is specified by a particular set of numbers, called wavelet filter coefficients. To see how a wavelet transform is performed, we will take a closer look at these coefficients that determine the shape of the wavelet mother function. 

For a numerical demonstration, consider the case of the DWT of a simple signal using the Daubechies-4 wavelet filter (N/ = 4). The periodic input signal is one period of a sinusoidal waveform (N = 2 = 16), with matched end-points ... 

Fig. 7 First two decompositions (three levels are shown, including the top level) of the dyadic DWT for a sinusoidal waveform with matched end-points, signal length N - 16 and using a Dauhechies-4 wavelet filter (Nf = 4j.

Decompose the measured data within a window of dyadic length using a causal boundary corrected wavelet filter. 

As in the case of any filtering or compression method, multiscale filtering relies on some information about the data and the nature of the errors to tune its filter parameters, which include the threshold, decomposition depth, the wavelet filter, and the size of the median filter for the robust techniques. Hints for selecting these tuning parameters in off-line and on-line modes are discussed below.

Generally, WT is superior to FT in many respects. In Fourier analysis, only sine and cosine functions are available as filters [13], However, many wavelet filter families have been proposed. They include the Meyer wavelet, Coiflet wavelet, spline wavelet, the orthogonal wavelet, and Daubechies wavelet [14,15]. Both Daubechies and spline wavelets are widely employed in chemical studies. Furthermore, there is a well-known drawback in Fourier analysis (Fig. 1). Since the filters chosen for the Fourier analysis are localized in the frequency domain, the time-information is hidden after transformation. It is impossible to tell where a particular signal, for example as that shown in Fig. 1(b), takes place [13]. A small frequency change in FT produces changes everywhere in the Fourier domain. On the other hand, wavelet functions are localized both in frequency (or scale) and in time, via dilations and translations of the mother wavelet, respectively. Both time and frequency information are maintained after transformation (Figs. 1(c) and (d)).

For SPC of highly autocorrelated measurements, since it is essential to decorrelate the data, MSSPC with dyadic downsampling is used. The nature of the wavelet filters and the downsampling can decorrelate a wide variety of stochastic processes. Fig. 6 depicts the ARL for an AR(1) process given by...
