rmultihyper {Corbi} | R Documentation

## The Multivariate Hypergeometric Distribution

### Description

Generate random variables for the multivariate hypergeometric distribution

### Usage

    rmultihyper(n, k, m)

### Arguments

`n` | The number of observations.
`k` | The total number of balls drawn from the urn.
`m` | The integer vector containing the number of balls of each color in the urn. Length of vector is the number of colors.

### Details

This function generates random variables for the multivariate hypergeometric distribution by iteratively calling hypergeometric random variable generator `rhyper`.

### Value

This function will return a matrix of `length(m)` rows and `n` columns, and each column contains the number of balls of each color drawn from the urn.
