That one is not needed, as the range is automatically between 0 and 1:
min(ws)
[1] 6.925322e-05
> max(ws)
[1] 0.9999284
so that is fine.
but when I do the normalization, i.e. the sum of each row has to be 1:

wss <- ws / rowSums(ws)

the min and max change to:
> min(wss)
[1] 0.0003943225
> max(wss)
[1] 0.4834845

But there is also the possibility, that one value ws[n,1] is larger
then one (or one), and the others are zero (or sum(ws[n,-1] ==
1-ws[n,1]), e.g.  (1,0,0,0,0,0,0).

In addition, I think that the resulting cube is not a Latin Hypercube any more.
