function T = mk_stochastic(T)
% MK_STOCHASTIC Ensure the argument is a stochastic matrix, i.e., the sum over the last dimension is 1.
% T = mk_stochastic(T)
%
% If T is a vector, it will sum to 1.
% If T is a matrix, each row will sum to 1.
% If T is a 3D array, then sum_k T(i,j,k) = 1 for all i,j.

% Set zeros to 1 before dividing
% This is valid since S(j) = 0 iff T(i,j) = 0 for all j
