wavCWT (wmtsa) iterations?

Hi Stephen,

How large is your dataset?  I routinely do wavelet analysis on series of 
  ~10000 observations on a computer with 1 gigabyte of ram.
You are aware that if you divide your data you are limiting the temporal 
scales that you can look at, right?  If you divide your data into one 
week pieces then you won't be able to obtain information on the 
variability at larger scales.  The larger scale you will be able to 
analyze will be even shorter than a week after you remove boundary 
coefficients.  This may be good enough if you are interested in 
processes occurring at small temporal scales, but clearly not adequate 
if your interest is in larger temporal scales (or if you are doing 
exploratory analyzes).
Getting wavelet coefficients in chunks of data and then plotting them 
together is not kosher either because the coefficients obtained near the 
edges between chunks will be biased.
