The PERT distribution is a family of continuous distributions give the minimum (a), most likely (b) and maximum (c) values that a variable can take.   Click to see graphs.  PERT-distributions-by-mode.png

It is a transformation of the four-parameter Beta distribution. The modified-PERT introduces a fourth parameter, lamda, that controls how peaked the distribution is, or conversely how much probability is in the tails.  See example graphs  PERT-distributions-by-peakedness-lamda.png

Analytica has the beta distribution built-in. We have added the modified PERT as a distribution function in the attached library.

The free version of Analytica lets you create and edit models with up to 101 variables, which is pretty substantial since each variable can be a multidimensional array. It also lets you run larger modes in ‘browse mode.’ Learn more about the free edition.

While Analytica doesn’t run on macOS, it does work with Parallels or VMWare through Windows.
