cdflap: Cumulative Distribution Function of the Laplace Distribution
Description
This function computes the cumulative probability or nonexceedance probability of the Laplace distribution given parameters ($\xi$ and $\alpha$) of the distribution computed by parlap. The cumulative distribution function of the distribution is
$$F(x) = \frac{1}{2} e^{(x-\xi)/\alpha} \mbox{ for } x \le \xi \mbox{, and}$$
$$F(x) = 1 - \frac{1}{2} e^{-(x-\xi)/\alpha} \mbox{ for } x > \xi \mbox{,}$$
where $F(x)$ is the nonexceedance probability for quantile $x$,
$\xi$ is a location parameter and $\alpha$ is a scale parameter.
