In CircStats: Circular Statistics, from "Topics in Circular Statistics" (2001)

Description

Generates pseudo-random numbers from a symmetric triangular distribution.

Usage

rtri(n, r)

Arguments

n	number of random variables to generate.
r	concentration parameter of the distribution. r must be between 0 and 4/pi^2.

Details

The triangular cdf is inverted to obtain the random numbers.

Value

Returns a vector of n independent random variables generated from a symmetric triangular distribution with mean direction 0 and concentration parameter r.
