  • It is developed that a family of the semicircular Laplace distributions for modeling semicircular data by simple projection method. Mathematically it is simple to simulate observations from a semicircular Laplace distribution. We extend it to the l-axial Laplace distribution by a simple transformation for modeling any arc of arbitrary length. Similarly we develop the l-axial log-Laplace distribution based on the log-Laplace distribution. A bivariate version of l-axial Laplace distribution is also developed.

  • We consider $Y=X{\lambda}Z,\;{\lambda}>0$, where X and Z are independent random variables, and Y is the length biased distribution or the equilibrium distribution of X. The purpose of this paper is to consider the distribution of X or Y when the distribution of Z is given and the distribution of Z when the distribution of X or Y is given, In particular, we obtain that the necessary and sufficient conditions for X to be $X^{2}({\upsilon})\;is\;Z{\sim}X^{2}(2)\;and\;for\;Z\;to\;be\;X^{2}(1)\;is\;X{\sim}IG({\mu},\;{\mu}^{2}/{\lambda})$, where $IG({\mu},\;{\mu}^{2}/{\lambda})$ is two-parameter inverse Gaussian distribution. Also we show that X is smaller than Y in the reverse Laplace transform ratio order if and only if $X_{e}$ is smaller than $Y_{e}$ in the Laplace transform ratio order. Finally, we can get the results that if X is smaller than Y in the Laplace transform ratio order, then $Y_{L}$ is smaller than $X_{L}$ in the Laplace transform order, and that if X is smaller than Y in the reverse Laplace transform ratio order, then $_{\mu}X_{L}$ is smaller than $_{\nu}Y_{L}$ in the Laplace transform order.

  • We define a skew-symmetric Laplace distribution by a symmetric Laplace distribution and evaluate its coefficient of skewness. And we derive an approximate maximum likelihood estimator(AME) and a moment estimator(MME) of a skewed parameter in a skew-symmetric Laplace distribution, and hence compare simulated mean squared errors of those estimators. We compare asymptotic mean squared errors of two defined estimators of reliability in two independent skew-symmetric distributions.

  • The new Laplace autoregressive model of order 2-NLAR92) studied by Dewald and Lewis (1985) is extended to the p-th order model-NLAR(p). A necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of an innovation sequence and a stationary ergodic NLAR(p) model is obtained. It is shown that the distribution of the innovation sequence is given by the probabilistic mixture of independent Laplace distributions and a degenrate distribution.

  • Bivariate Laplace distributions for which both marginal distributions and Laplace are discussed. Three kinds of bivariate Laplace distributions which are extended bivariate exponential distributions of Gumbel (1960) are introduced in this paper. These symmetrical distributions are compared with asymmetrical distributions of Kotz et al. (2000). Their probability density functions, cumulative distribution functions are derived. Conditional skewnesses and kurtoses are also defined. Their correlation coefficients are calculated and compared with others. We proposed bivariate random vector generating methods whose distributions are bivariate Laplace. With sample means and medians obtained from generated random vectors, variance and covariance matrices of means and medians are calculated and discussed with those of bivariate normal distribution.

  • We consider estimation of the right-tail probability in a log-Laplace random variable, As we derive the density of ratio of two independent log-Laplace random variables, the k-th moment of the ratio is represented by a special mathematical function. and hence variance of the ratio can be represented by a psi-function.

  • In this paper, we propose a novel algorithm to improve the performance of a voice activity detection(VAD) which is based on the generalized normal-Laplace(GNL) distribution. In our algorithm, the probability density function(PDF) of the noisy speech signal is represented by the GNL distribution and the variance of the speech and noise of GNL distribution are estimated using higher order moments. Experimental results show that the proposed algorithm yields better results compared to the conventional VAD algorithms.

  • The asymmetric Laplace distribution arises as a limiting distribution of geometric summations of independent and identically distributed random variables with finite second moments. The main purpose of this paper is to study the weak limit theorems for geometric summations of independent (not necessarily identically distributed) random variables together with convergence rates to asymmetric Laplace distributions. Using Trotter-operator method, the orders of approximations of the distributions of geometric summations by the asymmetric Laplace distributions are established in term of the "large-𝒪" and "small-o" approximation estimates. The obtained results are extensions of some known ones.

  • In this letter, a simplified suboptimum receiver based on soft-limiting for the detection of binary antipodal signals in non-Gaussian noise modeled as a generalized normal-Laplace (GNL) distribution combined with Gaussian noise is presented. The suboptimum receiver has low computational complexity. Furthermore, when the number of diversity branches is small, its performance is very close to that of the Neyman-Pearson optimum receiver based on the probability density function obtained by the Fourier inversion of the characteristic function of the GNL-plus-Gaussian distribution.

  • We show that the Fourier-Laplace series of a distribution on the sphere is uniformly Cesaro-summable to zero on a neighborhood of a point if and only if this point does not belong to the support of the distribution. Similar results on the ball and on the real projective space are also proved.
