mazTRI: Triangular Distribution Bounded Between [0,1]

In fitODBOD: Modeling Over Dispersed Binomial Outcome Data Using BMD and ABD

Triangular Distribution Bounded Between [0,1]

Description

These functions provide the ability for generating probability density values, cumulative probability density values and moments about zero values for the Triangular Distribution bounded between [0,1].

Usage

mazTRI(r,mode)

Arguments

r	vector of moments.
mode	single value for mode.

Details

Setting min=0 and max=1 mode=c in the Triangular distribution a unit bounded Triangular distribution can be obtained. The probability density function and cumulative density function of a unit bounded Triangular distribution with random variable P are given by

g_{P}(p)= \frac{2p}{c}

; 0 \le p < c

g_{P}(p)= \frac{2(1-p)}{(1-c)}

; c \le p \le 1

G_{P}(p)= \frac{p^2}{c}

; 0 \le p < c

G_{P}(p)= 1-\frac{(1-p)^2}{(1-c)}

; c \le p \le 1

0 \le mode=c \le 1

The mean and the variance are denoted by

E[P]= \frac{(a+b+c)}{3}= \frac{(1+c)}{3}

var[P]= \frac{a^2+b^2+c^2-ab-ac-bc}{18}= \frac{(1+c^2-c)}{18}

Moments about zero is denoted as

E[P^r]= \frac{2c^{r+2}}{c(r+2)}+\frac{2(1-c^{r+1})}{(1-c)(r+1)}+\frac{2(c^{r+2}-1)}{(1-c)(r+2)}

r = 1,2,3,...

NOTE : If input parameters are not in given domain conditions necessary error messages will be provided to go further.

Value

The output of mazTRI give the moments about zero in vector form.

#only the integer value of moments is taken here because moments cannot be decimal
