Wavelet-based estimation of 1/f-type signal parameters: confidence intervals using the bootstrap
Angelo Maria Sabatini · IEEE Transactions on Signal Processing · 1999
We propose to construct confidence intervals of parameters of 1/f-type signals using a nonparametric wavelet-based bootstrap method. Bootstrap-based confidence intervals of maximum likelihood parameter estimates are compared to the confidence intervals derived from the Cramer-Rao lower bound (CRLB). For moderately large data sample sizes, the bootstrap approach achieves the nominal coverage and may perform better than the CRLB-based parametric approach.
