The detection of power laws in real data is a demanding task for several reasons. The two most frequently met are that (i) real data possess noise, which affects the power-law tails significantly, and (ii) there is no solid tool for discrimination between a power law, valid in a specific range of scales, and other functional forms like log-normal or stretched exponential distributions. In the present report we demonstrate, employing simulated and real data, that using wavelets it is possible to…

A quantum algorithm for model independent searches for new physics
We propose a novel quantum technique to search for unmodelled anomalies in multi-dimensional binned collider data. We propose to associate an Ising lattice spin site with each bin, with the Ising…

DISCRETE WAVELET TRANSFORM POWER SPECTRUM ESTIMATOR
A method for measuring the spectrum of a density field by the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is studied. We show how the Fourier power spectrum can be detected by using the wavelet function…
Scaling behaviour of heartbeat intervals obtained by wavelet-based time-series analysis
TLDR
A new approach is introduced, based on the wavelet transform and an analytic signal approach, which can characterize non-stationary behaviour and elucidate the phase interactions between the different frequency components of the signal.
Power-Law Distributions in Empirical Data
TLDR
This work proposes a principled statistical framework for discerning and quantifying power-law behavior in empirical data by combining maximum-likelihood fitting methods with goodness-of-fit tests based on the Kolmogorov-Smirnov (KS) statistic and likelihood ratios.

A New Wavelet Denoising Method for Selecting Decomposition Levels and Noise Thresholds
TLDR
The new method is applied to continuous wave electron spin resonance spectra and it is found that it increases the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) by more than 32 dB without distorting the signal, whereas standard denoising methods improve the SNR by less than 10 dB and with some distortion.
Noise reduction using an undecimated discrete wavelet transform
TLDR
A new nonlinear noise reduction method is presented that uses the discrete wavelet transform instead of the usual orthogonal one, resulting in a significantly improved noise reduction compared to the original wavelet based approach.
