Some properties of the log-Laplace distribution

Conference ·
OSTI ID:5211109
A random variable Y is said to have the Laplace distribution or the double exponential distribution whenever its probability density function is given by lambda exp(-lambda abs. value y), where -infinity < y < infinity and lambda > 0. The random variable X = exp(Y) is said to have the log-Laplace distribution. With the problem of extrapolation to low doses in dose response curves as motivation, an axiomatic characterization of the log-Laplace distribution is obtained. 1 figure.
