Detailed Description

Implements the abstract class DiscreteDistributionIntMulti for the multinomial distribution with parameters \(n\) and ( \(p_1\), …, \(p_d\)).

The probability mass function is [93]

\[ P[X = (x_1,…,x_d)] = {n!} \prod_{i=1}^d\frac{p_i^{x_i}}{x_i!}, \tag{fMultinomial} \]

where \(\sum_{i=1}^d x_i = n\) and \(\sum_{i=1}^d p_i = 1\).

◆ cdf() [1/2]

double umontreal.ssj.probdistmulti.MultinomialDist.cdf ( int n,
double p[],
int x[] )
static

Computes the function \(F\) of the multinomial distribution with parameters \(n\) and ( \(p_1\),…, \(p_d\)) evaluated at \(x\).

Definition at line 160 of file MultinomialDist.java.

◆ cdf() [2/2]

double umontreal.ssj.probdistmulti.MultinomialDist.cdf ( int x[])

Computes the cumulative probability function \(F\) of the distribution evaluated at x, assuming the lowest values start at 0, i.e.

computes

\[ F (x_1, x_2, …, x_d) = \sum_{s_1=0}^{x_1} \sum_{s_2=0}^{x_2} \cdots\sum_{s_d=0}^{x_d} p(s_1, s_2, …, s_d). \]

Uses the naive implementation, is very inefficient and may underflows.
