The Haar wavelet transform of a dendrogram (Q2476002)

A new wavelet transform, that is based on an available hierarchic clustering of the data table, for use on hierarchies or binary rooted trees is described. The theoretical framework of this approach to data analysis is followed by case studies. A first set of application studies deals with data array smoothing or filtering. A second set of application studies relates to hierarchical tree condensation. Finally, a third study explores the wavelet decomposition and the reproducibility of data sets such as text. A new perspective on the generation or computability of such data objects is included as well.
