Skewed Laplace distributions I: the origins and inter-relation.

Kozubowski, Tomasz and Podgorski, Krzysztof LU (2008) In Mathematical Scientist 33(1).
Abstract
There are numerous asymmetric extensions of the classical Laplace distribution scattered in the literature. In this survey we discuss their origins and inter-relations. In particular, we point out which types of skew Laplace distributions are essentially the same, described in different, albeit equivalent, parametrizations. In a companion paper cite{KP06} we review the properties of classical and geometric infinite divisibility as well as self-decomposability, which are crucial in extending univariate Laplace models to stochastic processes.
