-====== Laplace Distribution ====== 
- 
-In probability theory and statistics, the Laplace distribution is a continuous probability distribution named after Pierre-Simon Laplace. It is also known as the double exponential distribution, because it can be thought of as two exponential distributions (with an additional location parameter) spliced together back-to-back. The difference between two independent identically distributed exponential random variables is governed by a Laplace distribution, as is a Brownian motion evaluated at an exponentially distributed random time. 
- 
-The probability density function of the gamma distribution is 
- 
-f(x,mu,sigma) = 1/(2//s)//exp(-abs(x-mu)/s) 
- 
-where    
- 
-s = sigma/sqrt(2) 
- 
-support -Inf <= x <= Inf
