The Laplace Distribution and Generalizations: A Revisit with Applications to Communications, Economics, Engineering, and Finance

by Samuel Kotz, Tomasz Kozubowski, Krzystof Podgorski

This book describes the inferential and modeling advantages that this distribution, together with its generalizations and modifications, offers. The exposition systematically unfolds with many examples, tables, illustrations, and exercises. A comprehensive index and extensive bibliography also make this book an ideal text for a senior undergraduate and graduate seminar on statistical distributions, or for a short half-term academic course in statistics, applied probability, and finance.
