Random Laplace.
Description
Random generation for the Laplace (double exponential) data with location 0 and scale 1.
Usage
rlaplace(n)
Arguments
n
scalar. number of random draws.
Details
A Laplace or double expoential distribution has heavier tails than a normal distribution and so a sample will tend to have additional outliers.
Value
A vector of length n is returned containing the random data.
