Expansion in a wavelet basis provides useful information ona function in different positions and length-scales. The simplest example of wavelets are the Haar functions, which are just linearcombinations of characteristic functions of cubes, but often moresmoothness is preferred. It is well-known that the notion of Haarfunctions carries over to rather general abstract metric spaces. Whatabout more regular wavelets? It turns out that a neat construction canbe given, starting from averages of the indicator functions over arandom selection of the underlying cubes. This is yet anotherapplication of such probabilistic averaging methods in harmonicanalysis. The talk is based on joint work in progress with P. Auscher.
