	 * 

Soft assignment is done by summing the total distance of the point from each cluster. Then for each cluster * its value is set to total minus its distance. The output array is then normalized by dividing each element * by the sum.

* *

* When all clusters are approximately the same distance or one is clearly the closest this produces reasonable * results. When multiple clusters are much closer than at least on other cluster then it effectively ignores * the relative difference in distances between the closest points. There are several obvious heuristic "fixes" * to this issue, but the best way to solve it is to simply use {@link org.ddogleg.clustering.gmm.AssignGmm_F64} * instead. *
