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 ${\frac {a+b-2c}{2(b-a)}}$ best for the shape, being related to the idea of skewness. --Henrygb 03:31, 25 Mar 2005 (UTC)
