Preface

When Zhou Enlai, Premier of the People’s Republic of China (1949–1976), was asked his opinion of the French Revolution (1789–1799) he replied “It’s too early to tell”, see Rosenberg (1999). I believe that the same can be said about wavelets. Although particular wavelets were discovered many years ago, the substantial body of literature that we might today call ‘wavelet theory’ began to be established during the 1980s. Wavelets were introduced into statistics during the late 1980s and early 1990s, and they were initially popular in the curve estimation literature. From there they spread in different ways to many areas such as survival analysis, statistical time series analysis, statistical image processing, inverse problems
