A Folded Laplace Slash Distribution and Its Applications
Abstract
We introduce a new distribution called folded Laplace slash distribution. The proposed distribution provides an alternative choice in simulating and fitting skewed and heavy tailed distributions with non-negative supports where the tail probabilities are heavier than the folded normal slash. Certain properties of this distribution such as the kth moment, skewness, kurtosis, the moment generating function, Lorenz curve, Shannon entropy and estimation of the parameters are investigated. Also, some reliability properties of this distribution such as thereliability function, the hazard rate function, the mean residual life function are derived. Finally, the proposed model is applied to a real data set and the results are compared with
those of some heavy tailed distributions such as folded Laplace distribution.

We have provided the online access of all issues and papers to the indexing agencies (as given on journal web site). It’s depend on indexing agencies when, how and what manner they can index or not. Hence, we like to inform that on the basis of earlier indexing, we can’t predict the today or future indexing policy of third party (i.e. indexing agencies) as they have right to discontinue any journal at any time without prior information to the journal. So, please neither sends any question nor expects any answer from us on the behalf of third party i.e. indexing agencies.Hence, we will not issue any certificate or letter for indexing issue. Our role is just to provide the online access to them. So we do properly this and one can visit indexing agencies website to get the authentic information. Also: DOI is paid service which provided by a third party. We never mentioned that we go for this for our any journal. However, journal have no objection if author go directly for this paid DOI service.
