draw_categorical

Given a uniform random draw and a vector of probabilities, returns the
1-based integer index of the selected category.

Toolkit to support and perform discrete event simulations with and without
resource constraints in the context of health technology assessments (HTA).
The package focuses on cost-effectiveness modelling and aims to be submission-ready
to relevant HTA bodies in alignment with 'NICE TSD 15'
