Let X be a collection of M uncorrelated zero mean Gaussian random variables (RVs). The sum of the squares of the RVs in X will obey a scaled chi-square distribution with M degrees of freedom (DOF). If, however, the original Gaussian RVs are (partially) correlated, we can approximate the distribution of the sum of the squares of (correlated Gaussian) RVs using a scaled chi-square distribution with the DOF adjusted for the correlation in the RVs. These adjusted DOF estimates are known as the equivalent degrees of freedom (EDOF). In the context of unbiased wavelet variance analysis, the EDOF can be used to estimate confidence intervals that are guaranteed to have non-negative bounds.
This program calculates three estimates of the EDOF for each level of a discrete wavelet transform. The three modes are described as follows for the MODWT of an an input sequence X(t):
Large sample approximation that requires an SDF estimation via wavelet coefficients.
n1 = s(j,0)^2 / Aj,
where s(j,tau) is the autocovariance sequence defined by
s(j,tau) = (1 / Mj) * sum[t=0,..., Mj - 1]{d(j,t)}
and d(j,t) are the Mj jth level interior MODWT wavelet coefficients and Aj is defined as
Aj = s(j,0)/2 + sum[tau=1,...,Mj-1]s(j,tau)^2.
Large sample approximation where the SDF is known a priori.
n2 = 2 * (sum[k=1,...,floor((Mj-1)/2)] Cj(f(k)))^2 / sum[k=1,...,floor((Mj-1)/2)] (Cj(f(k)))^2,
where f(k)=k/Mj and Cj = Hj(f) Sx(f) is the product of Daubechies wavelet filter squared gain function and the spectral density function of X(t).
Large sample approximation using a band-pass approximation for the SDF.
n3 = max(Mj/2, 1)
