This initializer is designed to keep the scale of gradients roughly the same

the initializer fills the weights with random numbers in the range
of :math:`[-c, c]`, where :math:`c = \\sqrt{\\frac{3.}{0.5 * (n_{in} + n_{out})}}`.
:math:`n_{in}` is the number of neurons feeding into weights, and :math:`n_{out}` is
the number of neurons the result is fed to.
If `rnd_type` is ``'uniform'`` and `factor_type` is ``'in'``,
the :math:`c = \\sqrt{\\frac{3.}{n_{in}}}`.
Similarly when `factor_type` is ``'out'``, the :math:`c = \\sqrt{\\frac{3.}{n_{out}}}`.
