Abstract

This paper, present a modified version of the classical Laplace distribu- tion. This distribution applied for modelling two real datasets: exchange rate and insurance loss ratio. The results suggest that further improve- ment to classical Laplace distribution fitting is possible and the new model provides an attractive alternative to the classical Laplace distribution.
