Abstract

A wavelet-based procedure for clustering signals is proposed. It combines an individual signal preprocessing by wavelet denoising, a dimensionality reduction step by wavelet compression and a classical clustering strategy applied to a suitably chosen set of wavelet coefficients. The ability of wavelets to cope with signals of arbitrary or time-dependent regularity as well as to concentrate signal energy in few large coefficients, offers a useful tool to carry out both significant noise reduction and efficient compression. A simulated example and an electrical dataset are considered to illustrate the value of introducing wavelets for clustering such complex data.
