safeweights(<:AbstractVector{T})::AbstractVector{T}
ensures that the sum of the weights
- does not exceed 1
- approaches or is equal to 1
one(T) >=
safesum
> prevfloat(one(T), k)
- safesum = sum(safeweights(weights))
- k <= ceil(1 + log10(wlength) + wlength^(5/16))
- wlength = length(weights)
note: This normalization is not the same as calling LinearAlgebra.normalize(weights)
; that divides each weight by their 2-norm (the sqrt of the sum of squares). If your application expects weights to be normalized using something other the 1-norm, do the normalization yourself.
