    At 8:55 I mention the low frequency components of the signal are resolved with bad time resolution. This is TRUE, however this therefore means they are resolved much better in frequency space. The point is that good frequency resolution is important for resolving low frequencies.

    Marvellous! I've been somewhat using an almost-wavelet transform for years without even knowing it lol. Thats because I've always been working on financial econometrics without any engineering background. When I first started, my friends who were working as QC engineers for a propellor manufacturer introduced to me a concept where I could model the cyclic components of the data not just by using variance and correlations, but more importantly, accurately modelling the durations of the periodic cycles. They explained how they can identify defects of enclosed, rotating parts without ever opening them up, and they would be correct every single time. Though, I wasn't really interested in the engineering part because I was too affixed on the concept. So I've been using a complex series of functions in python to do recursive FFT and Laplace transforms at different sliding intervals to capture time-frequency and time-resonance information for time series forecasting. I've always overlooked topics about wavelets without actually knowing how significantly they relate to me. Today, it was totally worth it to look into this subject as this will make my work so much easier. Thanks, whoever you are, keep it up!

    Nice explanation and great production value! Its really nice to see people putting there hearts into educational videos.
    At 8:03 you show the formula for the wavelet transform where the wavelet is complex conjugated. That would mean, that you calculate the cross correlation of the signal and the wavelet. This makes sens since you want to find out at which time the wavelet is present in the signal.
    However at 12:06 when you show the discreet wavelet transform there is no complex conjugate. Did you forget about it or did i get my math wrong?

      Hi David, I'm glad my video was helpful! When I first started to learn about the wavelet transform (2 months ago) I found The Wavelet Tutorial (linked below) by Robi Polikar. This offers clear and concise explanations of the WT as well as the STFT and goes into more mathematical detail than I did.
      In terms of WT applications, I only have experience in signal processing which is mainly what the WT is used for anyway :). A Fantastic thesis by Madhur Srivastava entitled "Improving Signal Resolution and Reducing Experiment Time in Electron Spin Resonance Spectroscopy via Data Processing" is where I started to learn about its applications in signal processing. If you can get access to his thesis, I would definitely recommend.

      I can only help you with question 2. One of the main parameters of the WT is the wavelet. Depending on what you want from your signal, you should choose a specific wavelet family (see link). Generally, I would suggest choosing a wavelet with similar morphology to your signal.
      In MATLAB you can use a discrete/continuous WT which is a function you can import. This will output your coefficients. The scale and time translation parameters are taken care of in the function itself. So really, your main parameter is your wavelet. Also remember you have different wavelet transforms: Decimated/Undecimated discrete WT's and continuous WT's.
