You should evaluate two integrals: one for (-infinity,0) and one for [0,infinity) by replacing |x| with -x on first integral and +x on second integral. Also recall that Integral e^(ax) = (1/a)*e^(ax) + C (indefinite integral that is).
How do you find the Characteristic Function of a Standard Laplace Distribution:
Let X denote a real-valued random variable with an absolutely continuous distribution with density function p(x) =
,
-
< x <
.
Find the characteristic function.
Attempt:
I know that the setup should look something like this:
