Multinomial Distribution

Evaluate the multinomial distribution or its inverse, generate pseudorandom samples

Statistics and Machine Learning Toolbox™ offers multiple ways to work with the multinomial distribution.

  • Create a MultinomialDistribution object and use MultinomialDistribution object functions.

  • Use distribution-specific functions with specified distribution parameters. The functions can accept parameters of multiple multinomial distributions.

To learn about the multinomial distribution, see Multinomial Distribution.
