Triangular

Triangular distribution constructor.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-triangular-ctor

Usage

var Triangular = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-triangular-ctor' );

Triangular( [a, b, c] )

Returns a triangular distribution object.

var triangular = new Triangular();

var mu = triangular.mean;
// returns 0.5

By default, a = 0.0, b = 1.0, and c = 0.5. To create a distribution having a different a (minimum support), b (maximum support), and c (mode), provide the corresponding arguments.

var triangular = new Triangular( 2.0, 4.0, 3.5 );

var mu = triangular.mean;
// returns ~3.167

triangular

An triangular distribution object has the following properties and methods...

Writable Properties

triangular.a

Minimum support of the distribution. a must be a number smaller than or equal to b and c.

var triangular = new Triangular();

var a = triangular.a;
// returns 0.0

triangular.a = 0.5;

a = triangular.a;
// returns 0.5

triangular.b

Maximum support of the distribution. b must be a number larger than or equal to a and c.

var triangular = new Triangular( 2.0, 4.0, 2.5 );

var b = triangular.b;
// returns 4.0

triangular.b = 3.0;

b = triangular.b;
// returns 3.0

triangular.c

Mode of the distribution. c must be a number larger than or equal to a and smaller than or equal to b.

var triangular = new Triangular( 2.0, 5.0, 4.0 );

var c = triangular.c;
// returns 4.0

triangular.c = 3.0;

c = triangular.c;
// returns 3.0

Triangular.prototype.stdev

Returns the standard deviation.

var triangular = new Triangular( 4.0, 12.0, 10.0 );

var s = triangular.stdev;
// returns ~1.7

Triangular.prototype.variance

Returns the variance.

var triangular = new Triangular( 4.0, 12.0, 10.0 );

var s2 = triangular.variance;
// returns ~2.889

Methods
