摘要
Triangular distributions have been studied since (at least) the 18th century but have been the subject of only very few papers in the statistical literature over the last 50 years or more. A class of distributions proposed recently for the construction of certain financial applications is in fact a mixture of two triangular distributions. This provides the motivation for the study reported in this paper.
