In the case of stationary data, all frequency components exist at any point in time but this is not true for non-stationary data. So, FT does not fit for non-stationary data. Wavelet transformation (WT) has the capacity to provide time and frequency information simultaneously in the form of time-frequency. WT is important to analyze financial time series as most of the financial time series are non-stationary. ...
