[…] The triangular distribution has applications in risk analysis and reliability analysis. It is also a useful theoretical tool because of its simplicity. Its density function is piecewise linear. The standardized distribution is defined on [0,1] and has one parameter, 0 ≤ c ≤ 1, which determines the peak of the density. The histogram at left shows 10,000 random draws from a triangular distribution with c=0.25, overlaid with the triangular density function. …
