Multinomial() doesn't work because there's no reasonable default we could assume. Did you want 3 dimensions? 100 dimensions?
Arguably none of the defaults should exist, but we haven't pushed on that yet. Maybe we should start removing all the default distributions. The other errors you noticed are temporary and will go away with a future upgrade. They shouldn't affect your results. -- John On Jun 19, 2014, at 10:00 AM, Martin <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi, > > When I type > > using Distributions > Multinomial() > > I get > > julia> Multinomial() > ERROR: no method Multinomial() > > other Distributions work: > > julia> Binomial() > Binomial( size=1 prob=0.5 ) > > > When using Distributions I also get the following errors: > > _ > _ _ _(_)_ | A fresh approach to technical computing > (_) | (_) (_) | Documentation: http://docs.julialang.org > _ _ _| |_ __ _ | Type "help()" to list help topics > | | | | | | |/ _` | | > | | |_| | | | (_| | | Version 0.2.1 (2014-02-11 06:30 UTC) > _/ |\__'_|_|_|\__'_| | > |__/ | x86_64-linux-gnu > > julia> using Distributions > Warning: could not import Base.foldl into NumericExtensions > Warning: could not import Base.foldr into NumericExtensions > Warning: could not import Base.sum! into NumericExtensions > Warning: could not import Base.maximum! into NumericExtensions > Warning: could not import Base.minimum! into NumericExtensions > > > julia> Pkg.installed() > ["Distributions"=>v"0.3.0","Options"=>v"0.2.2","Optim"=>v"0.3.0","StatsBase"=>v"0.3.8","Calculus"=>v"0.1.3","NumericExtensions"=>v"0.3.6","DualNumbers"=>v"0.1.0"] > > > Is the Multinomial Distribution not implemented in 0.3.0 ? > > > > thanks, > Martin > > > > > >
