LaplaceDist function

LaplaceDist

Returns a sample of N observations from a Laplace distribution with specified mean and spread.

LaplaceDist(N, mean, spread, max = 0.5, min = -0.5)

Arguments

• N: is the required sample size
• mean: is the required mean
• spread: is the spread of the function
• max: the upper limit of the distribution. Must be finite.
• min: the lower limit of the distribution. Must be finite.

Returns

N values from a Laplace distribution
