Wavelet shrinkage, radial basis function (RBF) have been studied for signal reconstructions. We first use these methods to approximate four specific functions which represent various spatially nonhomogeneous phenomena. Next, we apply these methods to analyze a time series of Paraguay River levels. From the preliminary experiments, we show that wavelet shrinkage was the best estimator. With similar result, secondly came AWTNN and lastly came RBF networks.
