/* The multinomial distribution has the form
N! n_1 n_2 n_K
prob(n_1, n_2, ... n_K) = -------------------- p_1 p_2 ... p_K
(n_1! n_2! ... n_K!)
where n_1, n_2, ... n_K are nonnegative integers, sum_{k=1,K} n_k = N,
and p = (p_1, p_2, ..., p_K) is a probability distribution.
Random variates are generated using the conditional binomial method.
This scales well with N and does not require a setup step.
