# Signal denoising using wavelet-based methods

 Page 9 / 9
• Root Mean Squared Error : The mean squared error defined as (Equation )
$\frac{1}{N}\sum _{i=1}^{N}{\left(\left(f,\left({x}_{i}\right),-,{f}_{dn},\left(,{x}_{i}\right)\right)}^{2}$
is computed for each realization and averaged over the 100 samples. Then, its square root is taken.
• Maximum Deviation : The average over the 100 samples of $\underset{1

Computational efficiency has not been chosen as one of the criteria, since it is greatly depended on the individual programming skills of the individual. Therefore, in order to avoid a non-uniform programming approach which couldpossibly result in misleading conclusions, time efficiency has not been considered.

The test functions $f\left(x\right)$ and the sample sizes $N$ have been chosen as the factors of the comparison studies. To this aim, two samples, one of moderate moderate size ( $N=128$ ) and another of larger size ( $N=1024$ ) have been considered.

As far as the test functions are concerned, two smooth signals (Figures and ) and two discontinuous ones (Figures and ) were taken into account. In , the function consists of the sum of two sinusoids, whereas in , a time shifted sine is illustrated. Since the signals are smooth, linear methods are expected to be comparable to the nonlinear ones. On the other hand, nonlinear wavelet estimators areexpected to perform better for the functions in ( , ). These highly discontinuous signals have been used as examples in donoho1993

## Results

The following plots, (Figures - ), illustrate the denoising performance for the 10 methods used. Each integer corresponds to a particular method as follows

• VisuShrink-Hard: Universal threshold with hard thresholding rule
• VisuShrink-Soft: Universal threshold with soft thresholding rule
• SureShrink: SureShrink threshold
• Translation-Invariant-Hard: Translation invariant threshold with hard thresholding rule
• Translation-Invariant-Soft: Translation invariant threshold with soft thresholding rule
• Minimax-Hard: Minimax threshold with hard thresholding rule
• Minimax-Soft: Minimax threshold with soft thresholding rule
• NeighBlock: Overlapping block thresholding (with ${L}_{0}=\left[logn/2\right]$ , $\lambda =4.50524$ )
• Linear Penalization: Term-by-term thresholding using linear shrinking
• Deterministic/Stochastic: Bayesian thresholding method for shrinkage estimates

## Conclusions

A general comment can be made related to the Root Mean Squared Error (RMSE). As expected, the bigger the sample size the lower the value of the RMSE. It is readily seen that this is true for the same test function and denoising procedure.

Focusing on the smooth Wave function, the bayesian method performs well. However, the linear penalization method and the Translation-Invariant-Hard method are very competitive. The performance of the penalization method should not besurprising since the linear estimators are expected to achieve good results in smooth functions such as the Wave signal. Similar remarks can be made about the Time-Shifted Sine signal, a function that shares with the Wave signal the smoothnesfeature.

As far as the Bumps function and the Blocks function are concerned, the Bayesian method outperform the classical ones in terms of RMSE. This leads to the conclusion that using Bayesian methods for such type of functions is preferable ifcomputational efficiency is not an issue. In fact, it is well established that non-Bayesian methods uniformly outperform Bayesian methods in terms of CPU time.

Finally, as a general remark, larger values of MaxDeviation occur for functions with many spikes and discontinuities.

so some one know about replacing silicon atom with phosphorous in semiconductors device?
s. Reply
Yeah, it is a pain to say the least. You basically have to heat the substarte up to around 1000 degrees celcius then pass phosphene gas over top of it, which is explosive and toxic by the way, under very low pressure.

can nanotechnology change the direction of the face of the world
Prasenjit Reply
At high concentrations (>0.01 M), the relation between absorptivity coefficient and absorbance is no longer linear. This is due to the electrostatic interactions between the quantum dots in close proximity. If the concentration of the solution is high, another effect that is seen is the scattering of light from the large number of quantum dots. This assumption only works at low concentrations of the analyte. Presence of stray light.
