Wavelet Explorer, which I've used for about a year now, is a well integrated package, with a user manual that is actually nice introduction to wavelet theory if you're new to it (not really enough to justify the price on this basis alone though :) It's main limitation in my mind has to do with it's almost exclusive emphasis on the discrete wavelet transform. While this may be a big selling point for wavelets in real-time digital compression or signal analysis, it ignores the equally important application of the continuous wavelet transform to 'off-line' data analysis, where redundancy isn't enough of a hindrance and improved resolution is desirable. If your application is the latter, you will likely need to write custom routines , which Mathematica is well suited to implement. A. Sharma Kevin J.
