there is no multinomial random number generator in UncommonsMath - unfortonately. there is also no hypergeometric random number generator. I thought it would be much easier to use an existing one, than write an own one. And once i know how to use the Vector interface, i might be ablie to use the one provided by mahout. for the hypergeometric thing I might have to write an own function,... (there should be a package providing those functions - I'm wondering why there isn't one,...)

It seems like you're not really using Mahout, but a library that
Mahout uses -- Uncommons Math. See

and documentation, you really need. Everything you refer to are not
Mahout APIs.

I did not realize that the methods are static methods (Thats why i tried to
use a constructor).

But how do I set up the vector with my probabilities?
And do I have to set a seed? which ones can I use?

Why is Vector used for the Method, and not ArrayList/LinkedList?

Thanks four your help.
