Multiple types of distribution functions to add...

Constantly using rand() function but also need;

 

  • Normal distribution function like we have in Excel and
  • Triangular distribution function too...

Idea: can we please add normdist() and triang(min,mode,max) functions...

Edit: for normal dist. attached a discretized example...

I have a discretized normal distribution function example prepared for a montecarlo study... I first create a CDF and then create normal random variables based on @chris_love 's birthday example.

 

Probably I can have it with a complex continuous function too...

I would love to see distributions in the product out of the box
