triangular

Block Category: Random Generator

Description: The triangular block generates random numbers for a triangular distribution. The triangular distribution is typically used as a subjective description of a population for which there is only limited sample data, and especially in cases where the relationship between variables is known but data is scarce (possibly because of the high cost of collection). It is based on a knowledge of the minimum and maximum and an inspired guess as to the modal value. For more information, see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangular_distribution.
