laplace: The Laplace Distribution

In evgam: Generalised Additive Extreme Value Models

The Laplace Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the Laplace distribution with location location and scale scale.

Usage

dlaplace(x, location = 0, scale = 1, log = FALSE)

plaplace(q, location = 0, scale = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

qlaplace(p, location = 0, scale = 1, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)

rlaplace(n, location = 0, scale = 1)

Arguments

x, q	vector of quantiles.
location	location parameter (mean).
scale	scale parameter (must be positive).
log, log.p	logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given as log(p).
lower.tail	logical; if TRUE (default), probabilities are P[X <= x], otherwise, P[X > x].
p	vector of probabilities.
n	number of observations.

Value

dlaplace gives the density, plaplace gives the distribution function, qlaplace gives the quantile function, and rlaplace generates random deviates.
