Abstract
We present a statistical study of wavelet coefficients of a fractional Brownian motion. A central limit theorem for empirical variances of exact wavelet coefficients is given. Under conditions on the mother wavelet and the choice of scales, a limit theorem is given for fitted wavelet coefficients computed from a time series. It provides an estimator for the self-similarity parameter of Gaussian time series.
