Example 4: Colored AR(3) Noise

Analyzing wavelet: db3

Decomposition levels: 5

Note AR(3) means AutoRegressive model of order 3.

This figure can be examined in view of Example 3: Uniform White Noise, since we are confronted here with a non-white noise whose spectrum is mainly at the higher frequencies. Therefore, it is found primarily in D₁, which contains the major portion of the signal. In this situation, which is commonly encountered in practice, the effects of the noise on the analysis decrease considerably more rapidly than in the case of white noise. In A₃, A₄, and A₅, we encounter the same scheme as that in the analysis of (see the table in Example 3: Uniform White Noise), the noise from which is built using linear filtering.
