    A right-stochastic graph is a weighted digraph in which all of
    the node (out) neighbors edge weights sum to 1.

    Parameters
    -----------
    G : directed graph
      A NetworkX DiGraph

    copy : boolean, optional
      If True make a copy of the graph, otherwise modify the original graph

    weight : edge attribute key (optional, default='weight')
      Edge data key used for weight.  If no attribute is found for an edge
      the edge weight is set to 1.  Weights must be positive numbers.
