  • $\begingroup$ What definition of whitening would you like us to use? I have not heard the term "whitening" used in this particular context, so you'll probably need to define your terms (or provide some more context and more information about why you're asking and how you will use the answer) before I could answer this. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 28, 2014 at 3:15
  • $\begingroup$ @D.W. That's probably part of my problem. Up to now I had in mind that whitening is something that is a relatively simple method such as performing a XOR on the output of one or two RNG's, but I sometimes see it use as a more general method of (at least) creating a good distribution of values given by an RNG. $\endgroup$ Commented Jul 28, 2014 at 7:42
