Abstract
This paper is concerned with the problem of determining the typical features of a curve when it is observed with noise. It has been shown that one can characterize the Lipschitz singularities of a signal by following the propagation across scales of the modulus maxima of its continuous wavelet transform. A nonparametric approach, based on appropriate thresholding of the empirical wavelet coefficients, is proposed to estimate the wavelet maxima of a signal observed with noise at various scales. In order to identify the singularities of the unknown signal, we introduce a new tool, "the structural intensity", that computes the "density" of the location of the modulus maxima of a wavelet representation along various scales. This approach is shown to be an effective technique for detecting the significant singularities of a signal corrupted by noise and for removing spurious estimates. The asymptotic properties of the resulting estimators are studied and illustrated by simulations. An application to a real data set is also proposed.
