Random generation for the Laplace distribution with parameters mu and b.
This generator is called by function gensample to create random variables based on its parameters.
Arguments
Details
If mu or b are not specified they assume the default values of 0 and 1, respectively.
The Laplace distribution has density:
$$ \frac{1}{2b}\exp \left( -\frac{|x-\mu|}{b} \right) $$
where \(\mu\) is a location parameter and b > 0, which is sometimes referred to as the diversity, is a scale parameter.
