Averaged Probability of the Error in Calculating Wavelet Coefficients for the Random Sample Size

Signal denoising methods based on the threshold processing of wavelet coefficients are widely used in various application areas. When applying these methods, it is usually assumed that the number of wavelet coefficients is fixed, and the noise distribution is Gaussian. Such a model has been well studied in the literature, and optimal threshold values have been calculated for different signal classes and loss functions. However, in some situations the sample size is not known in advance and is modeled by a random variable. In this paper, we consider a model with a random number of observations contaminated by a Gaussian noise, and study the behavior of the loss function based on the probabilities of errors in calculating wavelet coefficients for a growing sample size.
