This function returns a random variate from the Laplace distribution with width a. The distribution is, for -\infty < x < \infty.
This function computes the probability density p(x) at x for a Laplace distribution with width a, using the formula given above.
These functions compute the cumulative distribution functions P(x), Q(x) and their inverses for the Laplace distribution with width a.
