 Information on Daubechies wavelets.
 
    Daubechies Wavelets
 
    General characteristics: Compactly supported 
    wavelets with extremal phase and highest 
    number of vanishing moments for a given 
    support width. Associated scaling filters are
    minimum-phase filters.
 
    Family                  Daubechies
    Short name              db
    Order N                 N a positive integer from 1 to 45.
    Examples                db1 or haar, db4, db15
 
    Orthogonal              yes
    Biorthogonal            yes
    Compact support         yes
    DWT                     possible
    CWT                     possible
 
    Support width           2N-1
    Filters length          2N
    Regularity              about 0.2 N for large N
    Symmetry                far from
    Number of vanishing 
    moments for psi         N
