In statistics, a random Vector is white if it has the following properties that the elements are uncorrelated and have unit variance. This corresponds to a flat power spectrum.


X_white = E * A' * X

where X is the matrix to be wihtened, E is the column matrix of Eigenvectors and A' is the transposed diagonal matrix of eigenvalues.
