Triangular distribution

Triangular(min,mode,max)

Creates a triangular distribution, with minimum «min», most likely value «mode», and maximum «max». «min» must not be greater than «mode», and «mode» must not be greater than «max».

When to use

Use the triangular distribution when you have the bounds and the mode, but have little other information about the uncertain quantity.

Independent Samples

Like all Analytica distribution functions, Triangular generates independent distributions across any dimensions occuring in the input parameters. If you want to generate the same triangular distribution independently over additional dimensions, use the Over parameter, e.g.:

Triangular(2,7,10,Over:I,J)
