Chapter 10 in The Laplace Distribution and Generalizations, 2001, pp 309-313 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract In this short chapter, miscellaneous applications of Laplace distributions are briefly surveyed. In the first section we report that Laplace distribution may in certain instances provide a better fit than the more complicated hyperbolic distribution. The central part of this chapter is devoted to an important application to the area of dose response curves studied by Uppuluri (1981), which unfortunately has not been investigated further due to the untimely death of the author.
