[R] [FORGED] cumulative distribtuion function for multinomial distribution in R

[peter dalgaard]

I know exactly this:

https://cran.r-project.org/web/packages/MFSAS/index.html

As I understand things (but I am not a CRAN maintainer): This is compatible with a situation where the maintainer exists but doesn't update the package. I think a package only gets to orphaned status if the maintainer steps down or disappears.
