wvcvlrss


Computes estimate of error for function estimate.

DESCRIPTION

This function is merely a call to the GetRSSWST function.

USAGE

wvcvlrss(threshold, ndata, levels, type, filter.number, family, norm, 
	verbose, InverseType)

REQUIRED ARGUMENTS

threshold
the value of the threshold that you wish to compute the error of the estimate at
ndata
the noisy data. This is a vector containing the signal plus noise. The length of this vector should be a power of two.
levels
the levels over which you wish the threshold value to be computed (the threshold that is used in computing the estimate and error in the estimate). See the explanation for this argument in the threshold.wst function.
type
whether to use hard or soft thresholding. See the explanation for this argument in the threshold.wst function.
filter.number
This selects the smoothness of wavelet that you want to use in the decomposition. By default this is 10, the Daubechies least-asymmetric orthonormal compactly supported wavelet with 10 vanishing moments.
family
specifies the family of wavelets that you want to use. The options are "DaubExPhase" and "DaubLeAsymm".
norm
which measure of distance to judge the dissimilarity between the estimates. The functions l2norm and linfnorm are suitable examples.
verbose
If TRUE then informative messages are printed during the progression of the function, otherwise they are not.
InverseType
The possible options are "average" or "minent". The former uses basis averaging to form estimates of the unknown function. The "minent" function selects a basis using the Coifman and Wickerhauser, 1992 algorithm to select a basis to invert.

OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS

None.

VALUE

A real number which is estimate of the error between estimate and truth at the given threshold.

SIDE EFFECTS

None.

DETAILS

This function is merely a call to the GetRSSWST function with a few arguments interchanged. In particular, the first two arguments are interchanged. This is to make life easier for use with the nlminb function which expects the first argument of the function it is trying to optimise to be the variable that the function is optimised over.
