= Arctangent transform of a two-noise affine diffusion
{title2=$dX=X\,dt-X\,dW-dB\;\Longrightarrow\;d(\arctan X)=\cos(\arctan X)\,dZ$}

For independent <Brownian motions> $W,B$, the <Itô formula> cancels the drift after the arctangent transform. Normalizing the two noise coefficients gives a <continuous local martingale> $Z$ with <quadratic variation> $t$, hence another <Brownian motion> by the <Lévy characterization of Brownian motion>.
