Simulate observations from a multinomial distribution #' A wrapper function around `rmultinom` that generates a single vector of observations from a multinomial distribution where each of the `K` multinomial classes has probability `pred`. This function will automatically handle generating multinomial draws across multiple sexes. Aging error can be optionally applied.
