]
represents a Laplace double exponential distribution with mean
and scale parameter
.
MORE INFORMATION
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
