qtriang {jmuOutlier}

Triangular Quantile Function

Description

Symmetric triangular density with endpoints equal to min and max.

Usage

 qtriang(p, min = 0, max = 1) 

Arguments

p

Vector of probabilities.

min

Left endpoint of the triangular distribution.

max

Right endpoint of the triangular distribution.

Details

The triangular distribution has density 4 (x-a) / (b-a)^2 for a \le x \le \mu, and 4 (b-x) / (b-a)^2 for \mu < x \le b, where a and b are the endpoints, and the mean of the distribution is \mu = (a+b) / 2.

Value

qtriang gives the quantile function.
