correct scaling factor in Matlab cwt()?
Hello! I have a detail question about the Matlab cwt() function. Line 86
is the meat of the transform. It appears that the scaling factor being
used here is -sqrt(a). Shouldn't the scaling factor be 1/sqrt(abs(a)) ?
I'm sure they are right, but for the life of me I don't see where the
extra factor of -1/a would be coming from. Any help would be much
appreciated.
As an aside, they seem to be calculating the approximate cwt in a very
roundabout way (they start with the integral of the wavelet, then
convolve and take a derivative). Any idea why this is better than just
calculating it directly?
Thank you in advance for your help!
