Abstract

Wavelets are one of the newest achievements of mathematical science, which have many applications in other sciences especially statistics. In this paper, after introducing wavelet transforms, the nonparametric estimator of the density function is expressed by the nuclear wavelet and threshold wavelet method. Also variance-covariance of wavelet coefficient are investigated. At the end we survey the theoretical outcomes with numerical computation by using R software to compare purpose estimators.
