{{alias}}( [a, b, c] )
Returns a triangular distribution object.
Parameters
----------
a: number (optional)
Minimum support. Must be smaller than `b` and `c`. Default: `0.0`.
b: number (optional)
Maximum support. Must be greater than `a` and `c`. Default: `1.0`.
c: number (optional)
Mode. Must be greater than `a` and smaller than `b`. Default: `0.5`.
Returns
-------
triangular: Object
Distribution instance.
triangular.a: number
Minimum support. If set, the value must be smaller or equal to `b` and
`c`.
triangular.b: number
Maximum support. If set, the value must be greater than or equal to `a`
and `c`.
triangular.c: number
Mode. If set, the value must be greater than or equal to `a` and smaller
than or equal to `b`.
triangular.entropy: number
Read-only property which returns the differential entropy.
triangular.kurtosis: number
Read-only property which returns the excess kurtosis.
triangular.mean: number
Read-only property which returns the expected value.
triangular.median: number
Read-only property which returns the median.
triangular.mode: number
Read-only property which returns the mode.
triangular.skewness: number
Read-only property which returns the skewness.
triangular.stdev: number
Read-only property which returns the standard deviation.
triangular.variance: number
Read-only property which returns the variance.
triangular.cdf: Function
Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF).
triangular.logcdf: Function
Evaluates the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function
(CDF).
triangular.logpdf: Function
Evaluates the natural logarithm of the probability density function
(PDF).
triangular.mgf: Function
Evaluates the moment-generating function (MGF).
triangular.pdf: Function
Evaluates the probability density function (PDF).
triangular.quantile: Function
Evaluates the quantile function at probability `p`.
