multChernoff: Finite-Sample Tail Bound of Likelihood Ratio Test under Multinomial Sampling

Computes a finite-sample tail bound for the log-likelihood ratio test (LRT) statistic under multinomial sampling. The resulting bound is used to compute finite-sample conservative p-values and critical values when the standard chi-squared asymptotics can be unreliable. The package also supports multiple independent multinomial trials.
