Given a vector u of weights, the converter will give an output vector y of fractions so that:

If the weights do add up to zero equal proportions are assumed:

Notes

• The weights are shifted (shiftInputs = true) or clipped (shiftInputs = false), so that no weight will be less than zero.


• The sum of the output vector components will always add up to one, i.e., the L1 Norm of y is one.


• A typical usecase is the allocation of some resource to a demand where we have to guarantee, that no more than is available will be allocated.

nin	Value: 2 Type: Integer Description: Number of input and output signals
shiftInputs	Value: true Type: Boolean Description: = true, if all values are to be shifted to prevent negative inputs, otherwise negative inputs are simply set to zero
