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.
Actually, I thought he was sampling with replacement? Or was that the
related problem. I think one of the really big issues here is that
this isn't just a cheesy 2 or 3 category multinomial.
I don't know how much of a difference that will make, but it is at least
better conceptually.
I guess you could take the w/replacement problem and recast it as a
w/o replacement problem if you've marked the units you are drawing
from the urn (so to speak) and then just ignore them if they come out
again, right?
Meanwhile, since we've purged this thread of most of the list, I guess
this is my chance to ask: do either of you have recommendations for
recent, readable stuff on circulant or nearly circulant matrices?
