ISOMAX Returns those transform maxima that are isolated from others. This function is part of 'element analysis' described in Lilly (2017), "Element analysis: a wavelet-based method for analyzing time-localized events in noisy time series", available at www.jmlilly.net. BOOL=ISOMAX(SIZ,INDEX,WW,FF,GAMMA,BETA,MU,LAMBDA) returns an boolean array is true for transform maxima that are isolated from other maxima. SIZ is the original size of the wavelet transform array, while the index into maxima locations INDEX, transform values WW, and transform frequencies FF, are all as computed by TRANSMAX. ISOMAX returns a boolean array BOOL that is true for those maxima that are isolated at level LAMBDA. The maxima are interpreted as being from the transform *of* a (MU,GAMMA) wavelet *with* a (BETA,GAMMA) wavelet. Specifically, LAMBDA defines a contour around a transform maxima at which the transform modulus is expected to have decayed to a fraction LAMBDA of its peak value. A maxima is 'isolated' if it is larger in magnitude that all other points encompassed that region of influence. Note that if the third or fourth element of SIZ is greater than one, this indicates a set of original time series organized as a 2D or 3D array respectively, according to the WAVETRANS convention. In this case the isolation criterion is applied only to events from the same time series; the extra dimensions are simply looped over. [BOOL,Z]=ISOMAX(...) also returns a matrix Z with LENGTH(INDEX) columns containing the regions of influence T+1i*F surrounding all of the input maxima. One may then use 'plot(z)' to plot these regions. ISOMAX(...,'parallel') optionally uses a PARFOR loop when computing the regions of influence, which can be useful for large datasets. See also MAXPROPS, TRANSMAX, TRANSMAXDIST, MAX2EDDY. Usage: bool=isomax(siz,index,ww,ff,gamma,beta,mu,lambda); [bool,z]=isomax(siz,index,ww,ff,gamma,beta,mu,lambda); _________________________________________________________________ This is part of JLAB --- type 'help jlab' for more information (C) 2017 J.M.
