        These functions provide information about the Laplace
        distribution with location parameter equal to `m' and
        dispersion equal to `s'.  `dlaplace' gives the density,
        `plaplace' gives the distribution function, `hlaplace'
        gives the hazard function.

        The Laplace distribution has density

                     f(y) = exp(-abs(y-m)/s)/(2*s)

        where m is the location parameter of the distribution
        and s is the dispersion.
