Is there a solid method for wavelet analysis in Python?

wavelet

all. So, I have some time series data that I'd like to process with a wavelet transform to represent thusly. I am relatively new to the concept of wavelets. I noticed scipy.signal has a few objects, but it seems thin. Is there a library or something out there that will aid in this? Any documentation or tutorials you know of will be greatly appreciated.

What is the disadvantage of wavelet transform?

Although the discrete wavelet transform (DWT) is a powerful tool for signal and image processing, it has three serious disadvantages: shift sensitivity, poor directionality, and lack of phase information.

What is the difference between wavelet and Fourier transform?

While the Fourier transform creates a representation of the signal in the frequency domain, the wavelet transform creates a representation of the signal in both the time and frequency domain, thereby allowing efficient access of localized information about the signal.

Have you tried PyWavelets?

import pywt
x = [3, 7, 1, 1, -2, 5, 4, 6]
# Discrete Wavelet Transform
cA, cD = pywt.dwt(x, 'db2')
x2 = pywt.idwt(cA, cD, 'db2')

There are a few examples in their documentation.

The GitHub repository has more updated information to check out as well.
