In statistics, a random vector is said to be "white" if it has the following properties: that the elements are uncorrelated and have unit variance. This corresponds to a flat power spectrum.
A vector can be whitened to remove these correlations. This is useful in various procedures such as data compression.
Whitening a signal
- X_white = E * A' * X
where X is the matrix to be whitened, E is the column matrix of Eigenvectors and A' is the transposed diagonal matrix of eigenvalues.
