#' Multiple-class unidirectional label noise
#'
#' Introduction of \emph{Multiple-class unidirectional label noise} into a classification dataset.
#'
#' \emph{Multiple-class unidirectional label noise} introduction model randomly selects (\code{level}·100)\% of the samples
#' of each class \emph{c} with \code{goal}[c] != \code{NA}. Then, the labels \emph{c} of these samples are replaced by the class indicated in 
#' \code{goal}[c]. The order of indices in \code{goal} is determined by
#' \code{order}.
#'
#' @param x a data frame of input attributes.
#' @param y a factor vector with the output class of each sample.
#' @param level a double in [0,1] with the noise level to be introduced.
#' @param goal an integer vector with the indices of noisy classes for each class.
#' @param order a character vector indicating the order of the classes (default: \code{levels(y)}).
#' @param sortid a logical indicating if the indices must be sorted at the output (default: \code{TRUE}).
#' @param formula a formula with the output class and, at least, one input attribute.
#' @param data a data frame in which to interpret the variables in the formula.
#' @param ... other options to pass to the function.
#'
#' @return An object of class \code{ndmodel} with elements:
#' \item{xnoise}{a data frame with the noisy input attributes.}
#' \item{ynoise}{a factor vector with the noisy output class.}
#' \item{numnoise}{an integer vector with the amount of noisy samples per class.}
#' \item{idnoise}{an integer vector list with the indices of noisy samples.}
#' \item{numclean}{an integer vector with the amount of clean samples per class.}
#' \item{idclean}{an integer vector list with the indices of clean samples.}
#' \item{distr}{an integer vector with the samples per class in the original data.}
#' \item{model}{the full name of the noise introduction model used.}
#' \item{param}{a list of the argument values.}
#' \item{call}{the function call.}
