    laplace.cdf: Function
        Evaluates the cumulative distribution function (CDF).

    laplace.logcdf: Function
        Evaluates the natural logarithm of the cumulative distribution function
        (CDF).

    laplace.logpdf: Function
        Evaluates the natural logarithm of the probability density function
        (PDF).

    laplace.mgf: Function
        Evaluates the moment-generating function (MGF).
