Prevents underflows and overflows when optimizing the weights
Prevents underflows and overflows when optimizing the weights
Because of the functions involved in mapping points from and to the weight simplex sometimes over/underflows can occur and make some weights go to zero or one. To avoid this, at each iteration this function add an offset to the vector without affecting the resulting simplex points, or bound them if necessary, in this case affecting the resulting weights.
(possibly) arbitrary vector that is going to be mapped to a valid weight vector

Take a valid weight vector of a mixture model and map it to another in which unconstrained gradient ascent can be performed.

Ratio mapping to fit the weight vector
The precise mapping is w_i => w_i/w_last
Using it is NOT recommended; use the default Softmax transformation instead.
(Since version gradientgmm >= 1.4) This is an experimental, numerically unstable transformation and should not be used
