Choice of data and master wavelet
Multifractal analysis in wavelets for the analysis of atmospheric data

Various types of wavelet transform exist, including the continuous wavelet transform defined in the previous paragraph. The latter has proved particularly effective for studying multifractal objects. . The mother wavelet must also be chosen according to the intended application. A real mother wavelet is generally chosen for the study of multifractal signals. Here, we have taken the N successive derivatives of a Gaussian function:
