In this paper, we develop a method of performing the one-point statistics of a perturbed density field with a multiresolutional decomposition based on the discrete wavelet transform (DWT). We establish the algorithm of the one-point variable and its moments in considering the effects of Poisson sampling and selection function. We also establish the mapping between the DWT one-point statistics in redshift space and real space, i.e. the algorithm for recovering the DWT one-point statistics from the redshift distortion of bulk velocity, velocity dispersion, and selection function. Numerical tests on N-body simulation samples show that this algorithm works well on scales from a few hundreds to a few Mpc/h for four popular cold dark matter models. Taking the advantage that the DWT one-point variable is dependent on both the scale and the shape (configuration) of decomposition modes, one can design estimators of the redshift distortion parameter (beta) from combinations of DWT modes. When the non-linear redshift distortion is not negligible, the beta estimator from quadrupole-to-monopole ratio is a function of scale. This estimator would not work without adding information about the scale-dependence, such as the power-spectrum index or the real-space correlation function of the random field. The DWT beta estimators, however, do not need such extra information. Numerical tests show that the proposed DWT estimators are able to determine beta robustly with less than 15% uncertainty in the redshift range 0 < z < 3.
