[R-sig-teaching] Laplace Distribution

[Jeff Laux]

I think it's fine to teach a nonparametric statistics course, and it's fine
to compute the power of the sign test.  However, your question is not about
using R in teaching.  It is just about using R to compute probabilities
under a Laplace distribution.  Your question does not belong on this
listserv; it should go to the main r-help listserv instead.  This has been
pointed out to you several times and yet you keep doing this, which I
suspect annoys people.

As far as your substantive question goes, did you try Googling "r laplace
distribution"?  I get a number of useful hits.
