Description Usage Arguments Value Examples
Log-Laplace distribution is characterized by the following probability density function,
f(x;μ,b) = \frac{1}{2bx} \exp≤ft( -\frac{|\log(x) - μ|}{b} \right)
where the domain is x \in (0,∞) with two parameters μ for location and b > 0 for spread.

x |
a length-n vector of values in (0,∞). |
weight |
a length-n weight vector. If set as |
a named list containing (weighted) MLE of
