Median

NPM version Build Status Coverage Status

Triangular distribution median.

The median for a triangular random variable is

Median for a triangular distribution.

where a is the lower limit, b is the upper limit and c is the mode.

Installation

npm install @stdlib/stats-base-dists-triangular-median

Usage

var median = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-triangular-median' );

median( a, b, c )

Returns the median of a triangular distribution with parameters a (minimum support), b (maximum support), and c (mode).

var v = median( 0.0, 1.0, 0.8 );
// returns ~0.632

v = median( 4.0, 12.0, 5.0 );
// returns ~6.708

v = median( 2.0, 8.0, 5.0 );
// returns 5.0

If provided NaN as any argument, the function returns NaN.

var v = median( NaN, 4.0, 2.0 );
// returns NaN

v = median( 0.0, NaN, 2.0 );
// returns NaN

v = median( 0.0, 4.0, NaN );
// returns NaN

If provided parameters not satisfying a <= c <= b, the function returns NaN.

var y = median( 1.0, 0.0, 1.5 );
// returns NaN

y = median( 0.0, 1.0, -1.0 );
// returns NaN

y = median( 0.0, -1.0, 0.5 );
// returns NaN

Examples

var randu = require( '@stdlib/random-base-randu' );
var median = require( '@stdlib/stats-base-dists-triangular-median' );

var a;
var b;
var c;
var v;
var i;

for ( i = 0; i < 10; i++ ) {
    a = ( randu()*10.0 );
    b = ( randu()*10.0 ) + a;
    c = ( randu()*( b-a ) ) + a;
    v = median( a, b, c );
    console.log( 'a: %d, b: %d, c: %d, Median(X;a,b,c): %d', a.toFixed( 4 ), b.toFixed( 4 ), c.toFixed( 4 ), v.toFixed( 4 ) );
}
