## Generate random samples from multinomial distributions

### Description

rmultinomial: Generate random samples from multinomial distributions, where both n and p may vary among distributions

rmultz2: fixed p case

### Usage

    rmultinomial(n, p, rows=max(c(length(n), nrow(p))))
    rmultz2(n, p, draws=length(n))

### Arguments
