Multinomial distribution

A random vector has a -dimensional multinomial distribution iff it is the sum of independently distributed categorically distributed variables #m/def/prob

The joint probability mass function is

and . Hence this generalizes the binomial distribution.

Properties

1. Multinomial lumping
2. Multinomial conditioning where
3. for .
