Laplace (VSL_RNG_METHOD_LAPLACE_ICDF)

Random number generator of the Laplace distribution with parameters a and β. You can generate any successive random number x of the Laplace distribution by the inverse transformation method from the formula:

where u1, u2 is a pair of successive random numbers of a uniform distribution over the interval (0, 1).
