Description: We consider the problem where we observe k vectors
        (possibly of different lengths), each representing an
        independent multinomial random vector. For a given function
        that takes in the concatenated vector of multinomial
        probabilities and outputs a real number, this is a Monte Carlo
        estimation procedure of an exact p-value and confidence
        interval. The resulting inference is valid even in small
        samples, when the parameter is on the boundary, and when the
        function is not differentiable at the parameter value, all
        situations where asymptotic methods and the bootstrap would
        fail. For more details see Sachs, Fay, and Gabriel (2025)
        <doi:10.48550/arXiv.2406.19141>.
