The DDHFm package is designed to perform data-driven Haar-Fisz (DDHF) variance stabilization. The basic DDHF method itself is described in [4, 5]. The modifications to DDHF to make it work successfully for microarray (or indeed similar kinds of replicate data) are described in [10]. The basic idea of the Haar-Fisz transform is very simple. First, a Haar wavelet transform is applied to the data....

Wavelets are mathematical tools for hierarchically decomposing functions. Wavelet Transform has been proved to be a very useful tool for image processing in recent years. It allows a function which may be described in terms of a coarse overall shape, plus details that range from broad to narrow. The most distinctive feature of Haar Transform lies in the fact that it lends itself easily to simpl...

Abstract. In the paper, a new original procedure for the evaluation of discrete Haar spectra for separate fragments (blocks) of a digital image is proposed. The procedure explores specific properties of Haar wavelets, refers to the assumption that Haar spectrum of the whole image is known, and is much faster than direct evaluation of Haar spectral coefficients for the respective image blocks. I...

Haar wavelets have been widely used in Biometrics. One advantage of Haar wavelets is the simplicity and the locality of their decomposition and reconstruction filters. However, Haar wavelets are not satisfactory for some applications due to their non-continuous behaviour. Having a particular level of smoothness is important for many applications. B-spline wavelets are capable of being applied t...

We define a motivic analogue of the Haar measure for groups of the form G(k((t))), where k is an algebraically closed field of characteristic zero, and G is a reductive algebraic group defined over k. A classical Haar measure on such groups does not exist since they are not locally compact. We use the theory of motivic integration introduced by M. Kontsevich to define an additive function on a ...

A novel and effective method based on Haar wavelets and Block Pulse Functions (BPFs) is proposed to solve nonlinear Fredholm integro-differential equations of fractional order. The operational matrix of Haar wavelets via BPFs is derived and together with Haar wavelet operational matrix of fractional integration are used to transform the mentioned equation to a system of algebraic equations. Our...

The crossword puzzle is a classic pastime that is well-known all over the world. We consider the crossword manufacturing process in more detail, investigating a two-step approach, first generating a mask, which is an empty crossword puzzle skeleton, and then filling the mask with words from a given dictionary to obtain a valid crossword. We show that the whole manufacturing process is NP-comple...

the solvatochromism of fluoresceine and its derivatives was studied in solvents of different hydrogen bond donor (hbd), hydrogen bond acceptor (hba), donor number (dn) and acceptor number (an) by their uv-vis spectra. results showed that position, intensity and shape of absorption bands change with type of solvent. these changes can be rationalized by solvatochromic parameters such as α, β, et ...

An approximate equivalence checking method is developed based on the use of partial Haar spectral diagrams (HSDs). Partial HSDs are defined and used to represent a subset of the Haar spectral coefficients for two functions. Due to the uniqueness properties of the Haar transform, a necessary condition for equivalence is that the individual coefficients must have the same value. The probability t...
