Modelling stock returns - the Laplace distribution (Excel) (SUB)
What else can you do to model fat-tailed distributions so prominent on financial markets? Laplace distribution glues two exponential functions together and, being a conceptually simple distribution, sometimes achieves a remarkably good fit. We will learn how to estimate the parameters for the Laplace distribution using maximum likelihood and apply it to real-world financial data.
