In the past, wavelets have been used to simplify the dependence structure in multiple time or spatial series, but little has been done to apply wavelets as a modeling tool in a space{\textendash}time setting, or, in particular, to take advantage of the localization of wavelets to capture the local dynamic characteristics of high-frequency meteorological data. This paper analyzes minute-by-minute atmospheric pressure data from the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement program using different wavelet coefficient structures at different scales and incorporating spatial structure into the model. This approach of modeling space{\textendash}time processes using wavelets produces accurate point predictions with low uncertainty estimates, and also enables interpolation of available data from sparse monitoring stations to a high density grid and production of meteorological maps on large spatial and temporal scales.}, keywords = {Business Analytics}, author = {Chang,Xiaohui and Stein,Michael L.} } @article {1969986, title = {Decorrelation Property of Discrete Wavelet Transform Under Fixed-Domain Asymptotics}, journal = {IEEE Transactions on Information Theory}, volume = {59}, year = {2013}, month = {2013}, pages = {8001-8013}, abstract = {Theoretical aspects of the decorrelation property of the discrete wavelet transform when applied to stochastic processes have been studied exclusively from the increasing-domain perspective, in which the distance between neighboring observations stays roughly constant as the number of observations increases. To understand the underlying data-generating process and to obtain good interpolations, fixed-domain asymptotics, in which the number of observations increases in a fixed region, is often more appropriate than increasing-domain asymptotics. In the fixed-domain setting, we prove that, for a general class of inhomogeneous covariance functions, with suitable choice of wavelet filters, the wavelet transform of a nonstationary process has mostly asymptotically uncorrelated components.}, keywords = {Business Analytics}, author = {Chang,Xiaohui and Stein,Michael L.} }
