This article introduces the notion of whitening for random functions assumed to reside in a real separable Hilbert space. We compare the properties of different whitening transformations stemming from the factorization of a bounded precision operator under a particular geometrical structure. The practical performance of the estimators is shown in a simulation study, providing helpful insights into their optimization. Computational algorithms for the estimation of the proposed whitening transformations in terms of basis expansions of a functional data set are also provided.}, organization = {Ministry of Science and Innovation, Spain (MICINN) Instituto de Salud Carlos III Spanish Government PID2020-113961GB-I00}, organization = {Methusalem, Vlaamse regering}, publisher = {Wiley}, keywords = {Correlation operator}, keywords = {Cross-covariance operator}, keywords = {Functional independent component analysis}, keywords = {Mahalanobis distance}, keywords = {Sphering}, keywords = {Whitening operator}, title = {Novel whitening approaches in functional settings}, doi = {10.1002/sta4.516}, author = {Vidal, Marc and Aguilera Del Pino, Ana MarĂ­a}, }
