A research paper, 12 pages, bibl. 6 refs.

For the white noise, the spectral density is constant, and the past (restriction to (-infinity,0)) is independent from the future (restriction to (0,+infinity)). If the spectral density is not too far from being constant, then dependence between the past and the future can be eliminated by an equivalent measure change; that is called an off-white noise. I derive from well-known results a necessary and sufficient condition for a spectral density to describe an off-white noise.
