oneapi::mkl::rng::multinomial
Generates multinomially distributed random numbers.
Description
The
oneapi::mkl::rng::multinomial
class object is used in the oneapi::mkl::rng::generate
function to provide multinomially distributed random numbers with ntrial
independent trials and k
possible mutually exclusive outcomes, with corresponding probabilities pi
, where pi∈R; 0 ≤pi≤ 1, m∈N, k∈N
.The probability distribution is given by:
