The article says: a (location), b (scale) and c (shape) are the triangular distribution parameters. I would have said that c was a more natural location parameter as the mode, b−a the scale (or range and something like best for the shape, being related to the idea of skewness. --Henrygb 03:31, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)

Kurtosis and kurtosis of Triangular distribution?

The kurtosis excess given 12/5 appears to be the 'true' kurtosis?

[@http://mathworld.wolfram.com/TriangularDistribution.html Wolfram ]give the kurtosis excess as -3/5.

which suggests that the value given as excess is in fact the 'true' excess 12/5 (kurtosis excess + 3 = 15/5 -3/5 = 12/5)
