multinomial

multinomial(matrix1: any[] | Mat | Tensor ) : number

param matrix1 an Array, Mat, Tensor, or a series of numbers - the construct to find the multinomial coeff. of

returns Number - a number representing the multinomial of matrix1

This function finds the multinomial coefficient of numbers in a data structure according to the formula below. One can think of it as an analogue for the binomial probability distribution and its coefficients. However, this is for the multinomial case.

$$\text{multinomial}(x) = \frac{(x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n)!}{x_1!\cdot x_2!\cdot ... \cdot x_n!}$$
