Histogram with a Laplace Distribution Fit

Generation of histogram with superimposed fitted Laplace (double exponential) distribution.

The present code is a Matlab function that provides a generation of histogram with superimposed fitted Laplace (double exponential) distribution, similarly to built-in Matlab function “histfit”.

An example is given in order to clarify the usage of the function. For convenience, the input and output arguments are given in the beginning of the function.

The code is based on the theory described in:
