triangularAV

This function is used for specifying distribution in the form like "roughly this, +/- 20%".

Is equivalent to triangular( average * (1 - variability), average * (1 + variability) ). 
triangularAV(double average, double variability)

Description

Generates a sample of the Triangular distribution with mode set to average.

Parameters
