PROCESSING OF DETAIL WAVELET-COEFFICIENTS TO IMPROVE THE ACCURACY OF REFLECTOMETRY MEASUREMENTS by I. V. Manonina

“…The noise term of the reflectogram is most clearly revealed in the detail coefficients obtained at the lowest decomposition level (j = 1, 2, 3), and which needs to be applied to the threshold processing with different threshold for each coefficient thus the removal of sufficiently small coefficients, which are considered to be noise, is carried out. …”

Nonlinear Effects of Changes in Government Expenditures Across Global Economies: Insights from a QNARDL Analysis by Rianmahardhika Sahid Budiharseno, Min-Joon Kim

“…Unlike traditional models, this study decomposes government expenditure into positive and negative changes, estimating their impacts across different growth quantiles. The QNARDL model provides more detailed information than linear models such as the threshold autoregressive model, panel threshold method, quadratic form, and data envelopment analysis. …”

Fitness & Sports Medicine by Seitz H, Preissler E, Catalá-Lehnen P, Weitl M

“…The remaining ventilatory, hematological and performance-related variables show only partially significant changes and cannot demonstrate differences between hypoxic and normoxic training.Discussion: The consideration of the variables revealed similarities in the oxygen uptake at the second ventilatory threshold, but a clear detection of differences between hypoxic continuous live low-train high and normoxic training was not possible. …”
