I am analyzing however after doing transformation of the signal into wavelet, I have no idea how to get best or optimal scale from scalogram which containing scale and coefficient at their respective axis?
To choose the optimal value of the scale you will require some physical knowledge of the system that is under analysis. What does the signal that you wish to analyze correspond to and in the scaleogram what do you want to detect ( slowly varying processes, point discontinuities or anomalous readings). Only then you can come up with a deterministic or heuristic criteria for the scale selection
What I understand from the given information is that the authors are trying to fit a line to some data points. They are trying to estimate parameters for the equation of sort y=mx+b. The authors say that coif let give big values for the slope m. I donot have in depth understanding of the chemistry so I may not be of further help
As you know that the wavelet transform is based on calculating correlation of the signal with wavelets of different time scaling. In discrete wavelet transform the scales (time scaling) is multiple of powers of two. In the scaleogram the results of the wavelet transform are represented as a function of time and scale. Coefficients at different scale and time shifts are represented.
According to my understanding of the matter you require a scale which will give you the appropriate zero crossings in the frequency spectrum
