[R] multinomial test

[Sundar Dorai-Raj]

This is what I get when I try ?multinomial:

 > ?multinomial
No documentation for 'multinomial' in specified packages and libraries:
you could try 'help.search("multinomial")'
                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Which leads to ?Multinomial and Bert's advice below.
