wavDaubechies: Daubechies wavelet and scaling filters

Description

Ingrid Daubechies, a noted pioneer in wavelet theory, has established a number of wavelet filter types, each with different mathematical properties. This function calculates the wavelet and scaling coefficients for a given filter type. The wavelet coefficients, \(h_k\) for \(k=0,\ldots,L-1\) where \(L\) is the filter length, are related to the scaling coefficients through the quadrature mirror filter (QMF) relation $$h_k=(-1)^{k-L} g_{L-1-k}. $$

Usage

wavDaubechies(wavelet="s8", normalized=TRUE)

Arguments

normalized

a logical value. If TRUE, the filters are normalized by dividing each filter coefficient by the \(\sqrt{2}\) (useful for maximum overlap wavelet transforms). If FALSE, no normalization is used. Default: TRUE.

wavelet

a character string denoting the filter type. Supported types include:

EXTREMAL PHASE (daublet):

"haar", "d2", "d4", "d6", "d8", "d10", "d12", "d14", "d16", "d18", "d20"

LEAST ASYMMETRIC (symmlet):

"s2","s4", "s6", "s8", "s10", "s12", "s14", "s16", "s18", "s20"

BEST LOCALIZED:

"l2","l4", "l6", "l14", "l18", "l20"

COIFLET:

"c6", "c12", "c18", "c24", "c30"

Default: "s8".

Value

an object of class wavDaubechies.

S3 METHODS

plot

plot Daubechies filters.

Usage: plot(x, type="time")

x

A wavDaubechies object.

type

A character string denoting the type of plot to produce. Choices are "time", "gain", and "phase" for an impulse response, squared gain, and phase plot, respectively. Default: "time".

print

print Daubechies filters.

Usage: print(x, verbose=TRUE)

x

A wavDaubechies object.

verbose

A logical value. If TRUE, the filter coefficients are also printed. Default: TRUE.

Details

Only relevant for Daubechies filter types. Inconsistent ordering of the coefficients in Daubechies' book was recognized and corrected by Percival (see references). The "correct" order is given here.
