wvcvlrss: Computes estimate of error for function estimate.

In wavethresh: Wavelets Statistics and Transforms

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)

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.

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.

Value

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