You're right, the current output as documented is off by a constant factor:
>>> res = whiten(features)
>>> res * 3.41250074 / res[0, 0]  # reproduce docstring output
array([[ 3.41250074,  2.20300046,  5.88897275],
       [ 2.69407953,  2.39456571,  7.62102356],
       [ 1.43684242,  0.57469577,  5.88897275]])

Does anyone know why, and is this result correct?

Ralf
