Double-Exponential: The Double Exponential (Laplace) Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function and random generation for the double exponential distribution, allowing non-zero location, mu, and non-unit scale, sigma, or non-unit rate, tau

Usage

ddexp(x, location = 0, scale = 1, rate = 1/scale, log = FALSE)
rdexp(n, location = 0, scale = 1, rate = 1/scale)
pdexp(
  q,
  location = 0,
  scale = 1,
  rate = 1/scale,
  lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE
)
qdexp(
  p,
  location = 0,
  scale = 1,
  rate = 1/scale,
  lower.tail = TRUE,
  log.p = FALSE
)

Value

ddexp gives the density, pdexp gives the distribution function, qdexp gives the quantile function, and rdexp

generates random deviates.

Arguments

x

vector of values.

location

vector of location values.

scale

vector of scale values.

rate

vector of inverse scale values.

log

logical; if TRUE, probability density is returned on the log scale.

n

number of observations.

q

vector of quantiles.

lower.tail

logical; if TRUE (default) probabilities are \(P[X \le x]\); otherwise, \(P[X > x]\).

log.p

logical; if TRUE, probabilities p are given by user as log(p).

p

vector of probabilities.
