Standard Deviation
Triangular distribution standard deviation.
The standard deviation for a triangular random variable is
where a
is the lower limit, b
is the upper limit, and c
is the mode.
Installation
npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-triangular-stdev
Usage
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-triangular-stdev' );
stdev( a, b, c )
Returns the standard deviation of a triangular distribution with minimum support a
, maximum supportb
, and mode c
.
var v = stdev( 0.0, 1.0, 0.8 );
// returns ~0.216
v = stdev( 4.0, 12.0, 5.0 );
// returns ~1.78
v = stdev( 2.0, 8.0, 5.0 );
// returns ~1.225
If provided NaN
as any argument, the function returns NaN
.
var v = stdev( NaN, 4.0, 2.0 );
// returns NaN
v = stdev( 0.0, NaN, 2.0 );
// returns NaN
v = stdev( 0.0, 4.0, NaN );
// returns NaN
If provided parameters not satisfying a <= c <= b
, the function returns NaN
.
var y = stdev( 1.0, 0.0, 1.5 );
// returns NaN
y = stdev( 0.0, 1.0, -1.0 );
// returns NaN
y = stdev( 0.0, -1.0, 0.5 );
// returns NaN
Examples
var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var stdev = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-triangular-stdev' );
var a;
var b;
var c;
var v;
var i;
for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
a = ( randu()*10.0 );
b = ( randu()*10.0 ) + a;
c = ( randu()*( b-a ) ) + a;
v = stdev( a, b, c );
console.log( 'a: %d, b: %d, c: %d, SD(X;a,b,c): %d', a.toFixed( 4 ), b.toFixed( 4 ), c.toFixed( 4 ), v.toFixed( 4 ) );
}
