[R] multinormial runs tests?

Dear R users, I would like to test the randomness in a series of N values (N>=2). I know that runs.test works for dichotomous factor only: x <- rep(c(1,2), 50) runs.test(factor(x)) However it doesn't work for series that can take any N values (N>2): x <- rep(c(1,2,5,4),50) runs.test(factor(x))
