Semi-supervised Bayesian adaptive multiresolution shrinkage for wavelet-based denoising

We can use wavelet shrinkage to estimate a possibly multivariate regression function g under the general regression setup, y = g + ε. We propose an enhanced wavelet-based denoising methodology based on Bayesian adaptive multiresolution shrinkage, an effective Bayesian shrinkage rule in addition to the semi-supervised learning mechanism. The Bayesian shrinkage rule is advanced by utilizing the semi-supervised learning method in which the neighboring structure of a wavelet coefficient is adopted and an appropriate decision function is derived. According to decision function, wavelet coefficients follow one of two prespecified Bayesian rules obtained using varying related parameters. The decision of a wavelet coefficient depends not only on its magnitude, but also on the neighboring structure on which the coefficient is located. We discuss the theoretical properties of the suggested method and provide recommended parameter settings. We show that the proposed method is often superior to several existing wavelet denoising methods through extensive experimentation.     

Solving Noisy ICA Using Multivariate Wavelet Denoising with an Application to Noisy Latent Variables Regression

A novel approach to solve the independent component analysis (ICA) model in the presence of noise is proposed. We use wavelets as natural denoising tools to solve the noisy ICA model. To do this, we use a multivariate wavelet denoising algorithm allowing spatial and temporal dependency. We propose also using a statistical approach, named nested design of experiments, to select the parameters such as wavelet family and thresholding type. This technique helps us to select more convenient combination of the parameters. This approach could be extended to many other problems in which one needs to choose parameters between many choices. The performance of the proposed method is illustrated on the simulated data and promising results are obtained. Also, the suggested method applied in latent variables regression in the presence of noise on real data. The good results confirm the ability of multivariate wavelet denoising to solving noisy ICA.     

Denoising radiocommunications signals by using iterative wavelet shrinkage

Summary. Radiocommunications signals pose particular problems in the context of statistical signal processing. This is because short-term fluctuations (noise) are a consequence of atmospheric effects whose characteristics vary in both the short and the longer term. We contrast traditional time domain and frequency domain filters with wavelet methods. We also propose an iterative wavelet procedure which appears to provide benefits over existing wavelet methods.
