"Triode valve" does not make sense. Please restate the question.

Umm... yes, it *does* make sense.

Triode "valve" is non-U.S. English for Triode tube.

OK.

Amplification factor is the amount of anode voltage change to give a chosen amount of anode current change, compared to the amount of grid voltage change for the same anode current change.

The symbol is u (it's actually the Greek character for m), and it's called "mu".

That is, using "d" for "amount of change":

dVa/dVg for equal dIa.

Typical values are as low as 2 (6AS7/6080 regulator valve) to 12 (6C4/12AU7 medium-mu triode) to around 100 (6AV6 high-mu triode).

Some special microwave triode have mu values in the 300s.

What are the advantages of using transistor as an switch instead of diode?

1. A transistor *is* a triode- this is the general name for any three-electrode electronic device. 2. Most people understand "triode" to mean a tride vacuum tube/valve. 3. The transistor (i) needs no heated filament/cathode, so it uses much less power than a valve triode, (ii) because of (i), transistors do not "burn out" with age, so they have much longer lifetimes, are much more reliable, and generate much less waste heat, (iii) transistors can operate at much lower power than triode valves, and at much higher frequencies, (iv) transistors can be made much smaller than triodes, by a factor of many tens of thousands, (v) from early on, transistors were much cheaper than triode valves.

Was the first amplifying tube a triode?

If by triode, you mean "a three-electrode tube", then yes. You need a source of current into the device, a control electrode, and an "outlet" for the controlled current. Although there were radically different types of construction, all early amplifying tubes were triodes of some kind.
