rmname

Return a ipndacw matrix style name.

DESCRIPTION

This function returns a character string according to a particular format for naming ipndacw matrices.

USAGE

rmname(J, filter.number, family)

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

J: A negative integer representing the order of the ipndacw matrix.
filter.number: The index number of the wavelet used to build the ipndacw matrix.
family: The wavelet family used to build the ipndacw matrix.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

None.

VALUE

A character string containing the name of a matrix according to a particular naming scheme.

SIDE EFFECTS

None

DETAILS

Some of the matrices computed by ipndacw take a long time to compute. Hence it is a good idea to store them and reuse them. This function generates a name according to a particular naming scheme that permits a search algorithm to easily find the matrices.

Each matrix has three defining characteristics: its order, filter.number and family. Each of these three characteristics are concatenated together to form a name.
