About stdlib...

We believe in a future in which the web is a preferred environment for numerical computation. To help realize this future, we've built stdlib. stdlib is a standard library, with an emphasis on numerical and scientific computation, written in JavaScript (and C) for execution in browsers and in Node.js.

The library is fully decomposable, being architected in such a way that you can swap out and mix and match APIs and functionality to cater to your exact preferences and use cases.

When you use stdlib, you can be absolutely certain that you are using the most thorough, rigorous, well-written, studied, documented, tested, measured, and high-quality code out there.

To join us in bringing numerical computing to the web, get started by checking us out on GitHub, and please consider financially supporting stdlib. We greatly appreciate your continued support!

Triangular

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Triangular distribution constructor.

Usage

To use in Observable,

Triangular = require( 'https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-base-dists-triangular-ctor@umd/browser.js' )

To vendor stdlib functionality and avoid installing dependency trees for Node.js, you can use the UMD server build:

var Triangular = require( 'path/to/vendor/umd/stats-base-dists-triangular-ctor/index.js' )

To include the bundle in a webpage,

<script type="text/javascript" src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/gh/stdlib-js/stats-base-dists-triangular-ctor@umd/browser.js"></script>

If no recognized module system is present, access bundle contents via the global scope:

<script type="text/javascript">
(function () {
    window.Triangular;
})();
</script>

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

Computed Properties

Triangular.prototype.entropy

Returns the differential entropy.

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

var entropy = triangular.entropy;
// returns ~1.886

Triangular.prototype.kurtosis

Returns the excess kurtosis.

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

var kurtosis = triangular.kurtosis;
// returns -0.6

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

var mu = triangular.mean;
// returns ~8.667

Triangular.prototype.median

Returns the median.

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

var median = triangular.median;
// returns ~8.899

Triangular.prototype.mode

Returns the mode.

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

var mode = triangular.mode;
// returns 10.0

Triangular.prototype.skewness

Returns the skewness.

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

var skewness = triangular.skewness;
// returns ~-0.422

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

Triangular.prototype.cdf( x )

Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF).

var triangular = new Triangular( 2.0, 4.0, 3.0 );

var y = triangular.cdf( 2.5 );
// returns 0.125

Triangular.prototype.logcdf( x )

Evaluates the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function (CDF).

var triangular = new Triangular( 2.0, 4.0, 3.0 );

var y = triangular.logcdf( 2.5 );
// returns ~-2.079

Triangular.prototype.logpdf( x )

Evaluates the natural logarithm of the probability density function (PDF).

var triangular = new Triangular( 2.0, 4.0, 3.0 );

var y = triangular.logpdf( 2.5 );
// returns ~-0.693

Triangular.prototype.pdf( x )

Evaluates the probability density function (PDF).

var triangular = new Triangular( 2.0, 4.0, 3.0 );

// returns 3.0

y = triangular.quantile( 1.9 );
// returns NaN
