Abstract
A generalized Laplace distribution using the Kumaraswamy distribution is introduced. Different structural properties of this new distribution are derived, including the moments, and the moment generating function. We discuss maximum likelihood estimation of the model parameters and obtain the observed and expected information matrix. A real data set is used to compare the new model with widely known distributions.
