This work focuses on the importance of reviving the Laplace distribution and describes the inferential and modelling advantages which this distribution offers. The book shows that the Laplace distribution is useful in promoting an understanding of maximum likelihood estimation. There is a historical introducution to the subject followed by coverage of the univariate Laplace distribution, and the book provides many examples, problems and exercises that cover the subject.
