What is wavelet analysis for time series?
Wavelet analysis is a useful supplementary technique for analysing time series, in particular for transient and chirped signals involving different wave modes and harmonics. Some basic wavelet properties are summarized, and wavelet analysis of simple signals are presented.
How do you read wavelet transform?
The basic idea behind wavelet transform is, a new basis(window) function is introduced which can be enlarged or compressed to capture both low frequency and high frequency component of the signal (which relates to scale).
Is wavelet a time frequency analysis?
The continuous wavelet transform (CWT) is a time-frequency transform, which is ideal for analyzing nonstationary signals. A signal being nonstationary means that its frequency-domain representation changes over time.
What is the major difference between DWT and CWT?
To summarize: The CWT and the discrete wavelet transforms differ in how they discretize the scale parameter. The CWT typically uses exponential scales with a base smaller than 2, for example 21/12 . The discrete wavelet transform always uses exponential scales with the base equal to 2.
