SCOPE Shrinkage: A Unified Framework for Wavelet Denoising (opens in new tab)

We introduce Symmetric CDF Oriented Probability Enhanced (SCOPE) shrinkage, a unified family of sign-preserving shrinkage rules constructed from centered cumulative distribution functions of symmetric unimodal distributions. The proposed framework generates a broad class of attenuation profiles that interpolate between strong local shrinkage near zero and asymptotically unbiased behavior in the tails. A general formulation is developed that sepa...
