double ow_exp_scale_by_sum_log_vector(Vector *log_vp);

DESCRIPTION

This routine scales a vector of log quantities by the sum of the non log quantities, replacing the vector with non log quantities. This is a standard normalization in probablistic calculations. The log of the sum is returned (which typically maps onto a log likelihood of a mixture marginalization).

RETURNS

log(sum(ew_exp(vp)) [ "ew" means element-wise ].

DISCLAIMER

This software is not adequatedly tested. It is recomended that results are checked independantly where appropriate.
