Abstract

In this paper, we use the moment generating function of the double gamma random variable to derive the sample mean distribution of the Laplace (double exponential) model. The proposed approach simplifies the Bessel function approach in the investigation of the Laplace sample mean. The connection between double gamma and Laplace models facilitates computation for the percentile of the Laplace sample mean via percentiles of Chi-square random variables.
