Language: Fortran	Revised:

Subroutine subprogram RNMNML generates a vector of random integers with probabilities according to the multinomial distribution

Structure:

SUBROUTINE subprogram
User Entry Names: RNMNML
External References: RANLUX

Usage:

    CALL RNMNML(N,NSUM,PCUM,NVEC,IERR)

N

(INTEGER) Number N of random integers requested.

NSUM

(INTEGER) , specified by the user.

PCUM

(REAL) One-dimensional array of length . Must contains, on entry, the (normalized) cumulative channel probabilities in . In particular, .

NVEC

(INTEGER) One-dimensional array of length . On exit, NVEC(i),(i = 1,...,N) contains the generated random integers.

IERR

Error flag.
Normal case,
for one i al least,
.

Notes:

For N=2, use RNBNML (V137).
