triangrnd

Random arrays from the triangular distribution.

TRIANGRND creates random arrays from the triangular distribution.

R = TRIANGRND(A,M,B) returns an array of random numbers chosen from a triangular distribution with lower bound A, upper bound B, and mode M. The size of R is the common size of A, M, and B if all are arrays. If any parameters are scalars, the size of R is the size of the other parameter(s).

R = TRIANGRND(A,M,B,MM,NN,...) or R = TRIANGRND(A,M,B,[MM,NN,...]) returns an MM-by-NN-by-... array.

TRIANGRND uses Kotz & van Dorp's method [1].
