function W = normw(W)
% PURPOSE: normalize a spatial weight matrix
%          to have row sums of unity
% -------------------------------------------------
% USAGE: Wout = normw(W)
% where: W  = (n x n) input weight matrix
% -------------------------------------------------
% NOTES: i) some rows can be zero, 
%        2) the function works for 3-d matrices 
%           If W is a 3D array, sum_k W(i,j,k)=1 for all i,j.
% ------------------------------------------------- 
% RETURNS: wout = standardized weight matrix
