Which features are "really there"?
Paper: "SiZer for exploration of structures in curves", by P. Chaudhuri and J. S. Marron. To appear in JASA.
(Notes: this is 11 postscript files that are combined in the UNIX "tar" form. To "untar", i.e. uncombine, into a subdirectory called "sizer1", use the UNIX command "tar xvf sizer1.tar". Files szf2.ps,...szf10.ps look best if printed in color.)
