### Description

Generates pseudo-random numbers from a symmetric triangular distribution.

### Usage

    rtri(n, r)

### Arguments

`n` | number of random variables to generate.
`r` | concentration parameter of the distribution. r must be between 0 and 4/pi^2.

### Details

The triangular cdf is inverted to obtain the random numbers.

### Value

Returns a vector of n independent random variables generated from a symmetric triangular distribution with mean direction 0 and concentration parameter r.
