International audience. The angular power spectrum of a stationary random field on the sphere is estimated from the needlet coefficients of a single realization, observed with increasingly fine resolution. The estimator we consider is similar to the one recently used in practice by (Faÿ et al. 2008) to estimate the power spectrum of the Cosmic Microwave Background. The consistency of the estimator, in the asymptotics of high frequencies, is proved for a model with a stationary Gaussian field corrupted by heteroscedastic noise and missing data.

Practical wavelet design on the sphere

We address the question of designing isotropic analysis functions on the sphere which are perfectly limited in the spectral domain and optimally localized in the spatial domain. This work is motivated by the need of localized anal...

Moment bounds for non-linear functionals of the periodogram

In this paper, we prove the validity of the Edgeworth expansion of the Discrete Fourier transforms of some linear time series. This result is applied to approach moments of non linear functionals of the periodogram. As an illustra...
