What model are you using? It must be some sort of multinomial.

Yes, its a big multinomial.

Maybe part of the problem is that you have to distinguish between the multinomial and the multivariate hypergeometric. Your distribution really should be multivariate hypergeometric and not multinomial. The difference is that the multivariate hypergeometric is sampling without replacement while the multinomial is sampling with replacement.


I don't know how much of a difference that will make, but it is at least better conceptually.
