Notes

  1. 1.

    \((Z_1, \ Z_2)\) represent bivariate normal random variables \((h, \ v)\) or \((s, \ v)\). Since \((h, \ s)\) may not follow the bivariate lognormal distributions, \((h, \ s)\) are not considered.

  2. 2.

    1 mHz \(=\) 0.001 Hz.

  3. 3.

    The characteristic points can be more accurately identified by using other more complex wavelets.
