A distribution, first given by Laplace in 1774, that has probability density function f given by
where Φ is a positive parameter. The distribution is also called the double exponential distribution and is the distribution of the difference of two independent random variables, each with the same exponential distribution. The distribution is symmetrical about 0, which is therefore both its mean and its mode. The distribution has variance 2Φ2.
Laplace distribution. Each distribution has variance equal to 2Φ2.
