Triangular Density Function

Description

Density and random generation for the Triangular circular distribution.

Usage

dtriangular(x, rho)
rtriangular(n, rho, control.circular=list())

Arguments

x	a vector. The object is coerced to class circular.
n	number of observations.
rho	concentration parameter of the distribution. rho must be between 0 and 4/pi^2.
control.circular	the attribute of the resulting object.

Value

dtriangular gives the density and rtriangular generates random deviates.

Examples

data1 <- rtriangular(100, 0.3, control.circular=list(units="degrees"))
plot(data1)

ff <- function(x) dtriangular(x, rho=0.3)
