Here, choices refer to the number of classes in the multinomial model. One definition is that a random vector is said to be kvariate normally distributed if every linear combination of its k components has a univariate normal distribution.
Ordinal multinomial logistic regression is an extension of logistic regression using multiple categories that have a logical order. This example shows how to generate random numbers and compute and plot the pdf of a multinomial distribution using probability distribution functions. The binomial distribution is a twoparameter family of curves. Let xj be the number of times that the jth outcome occurs in n independent trials.
So, just like bernoulli distribution gives us the probability for a binary variable at each instance while binomial returns it for n examples, categorical distribution gives us the probability for a kclassifying variable at each instance while a multinomial distribution returns it for n examples. Sum of many independent 01 components with probabilities equal p with n large enough such that npq. X and prob are mbyk matrices or 1byk vectors, where k is the number of multinomial bins or categories. Categories must be coded 0 to k, where k is a positive integer.
