LaplaceDistribution

LaplaceDistribution[, ]
represents a Laplace double-exponential distribution with mean and scale parameter .

DetailsDetails

  • The Laplace distribution gives the distribution of the difference between two independent random variables with identical exponential distributions.
  • LaplaceDistribution allows be any real number and to be any positive real number.
  • LaplaceDistribution can be used with such functions as Mean, CDF, and RandomVariate. »
