Appendix A. Wavelet Transformation
- It starts with a scale value, e.g., for the wavelet signal; this is placed at the beginning of the data record in t = 0 (see the output in Figure A1).
- The two time series are multiplied together, and the result is integrated over the time-frame. The result of this integration is multiplied by the inverse of the square root of (see the output in Figure A2).
- The wavelet function in the same scale s = 1 is displaced in time to the right in . The procedure of Step (i) is also repeated until the end of the analyzed series is finished (see the output in Figure A3).
