Dear R-helpers, I need to compute probabilties of multinomial observations, eg by doing the following:
y=sample(1:3,15,1) prob=matrix(runif(45),15) prob=prob/rowSums(prob) diag(prob[,y]) However, my question is whether this is the most efficient way to do this. In the call prob[,y] a whole matrix is computed which seems a bit of a waste. Is there maybe a vectorized version of dmultinom which does this?
