Abstract
This paper is devoted to a new two‐parameter distribution on having an original additive stochastic structure. It is defined by the sum of two independent discrete random variables, where one is defined based on the Laplace distribution and the other on a transformed version of a distribution that can be viewed as a relative binomial distribution. It can thus also be viewed as a perturbed version of the Laplace distribution. We present some interesting properties of the proposed distribution, such as its moments (ordinary, non‐central, incomplete moments, etc.), characteristic function, skewness, and kurtosis, among others. The distribution is also applied to practical datasets from finance and health studies, where it is seen to perform better than some of the existing models defined on .
