Wavelet packet transforms are also related to the discrete wavelet transform. Complex wavelet transform is another form. Properties The Haar DWT illustrates the desirable properties of wavelets

The key is the use of statistically derived random sampling procedures. These ensure that survey results can be defended as statistically representative of the population. Surveys that do not follow these procedures can produce results that lead to misguided market research‚ strategic‚ or policy decisions.
