rmultinomial

Generate random samples from multinomial distributions

rmultinomial: Generate random samples from multinomial distributions, where both n and p may vary among distributions

rmultz2: fixed p case

rmultinomial(n, p, rows=max(c(length(n), nrow(p))))
rmultz2(n, p, draws=length(n))

`n`	vector of sizes
`p`	vector or probs
`rows`	numeric giving desired number rows to be output
`draws`	number samples required

a matrix of rows rows delivering specified samples
