LaplaceDistribution Class

Represents a Laplace distribution.

public class LaplaceDistribution : ContinuousDistribution
Inheritance
Object  →  Distribution  →  ContinuousDistribution  →  LaplaceDistribution

Remarks

The Laplace distribution is sometimes called the double exponential distribution. It is used to model variables with a distribution that is more heavy-taled than the normal distribution.

The Laplace distribution has two parameters: a LocationParameter and a ScaleParameter.

Constructors

LaplaceDistribution(Vector<Double>) Constructs the maximum-likelihood Laplace distribution from a numerical variable.
LaplaceDistribution(Double, Double) Constructs a new LaplaceDistribution.
LaplaceDistribution(Vector<Double>, EstimationMethod) Constructs the Laplace distribution from a numerical variable.
