Comment on "Significance tests for the wavelet power and the wavelet power spectrum" by Ge (2007)

Z. Zhang and J. C. Moore

Abstract. As the main result in Ge's paper, Ge announced that he proved a formula on the distribution of Morlet wavelet power spectrum of continuous-time Gaussian white noise in a rigorous statistical framework. In this paper, we will show that Ge's formula is wrong and each step of Ge's proof is wrong. Moreover, we give and prove a correct formula in a rigorous statistical framework.
