rvmultinom | R Documentation |
Generates a random vector from a multinomial sampling model.
rvmultinom(n = 1, size = 1, prob)
n |
integer, number of random variables to generate |
size |
integer or integer-valued rv: the number of trials (size of each sample) |
prob |
vector (of length at least 3) prior probabilities of successes of each trial (may be constant or an rv object) |
The length of prob
determines the number of bins.
The vector prob
will be normalized to have sum 1.
If length(prob)
is two, rvbinom
is called instead.
NOTE. Case of random n
or size
or prob
— not yet
optimized for speed.
A random array of dimensions length(prob)
times n
