The three parameter Esscher trasformed Laplace distributios is the locatio scale family of the oe parameter Esscher trasformed Laplace distributio itroduced by Sebastia George ad Dais George (01). Keywords: Asymmetric distributio, Esscher trasformed Laplace distributio, Heavy-tailed distributio, Maximum Likelihood Estimatio Method. I. INTRODUCTION I the last several decades various forms of asymmetric, heavy-tailed ad asymmetric heavy-tailed distributios have appeared i the literature, see McGill (196), Holla ad Bhattacharya (1968), Balakrisha ad Ambagaspitiya (199), Ghitay(005, 007), Kozumbowski ad Podg'orski (000) ad Poiraud-Casaova ad Thomas Agam (000), Jayakumar ad Kuttykrisha (006), ] VaidaBartkute ad LeoidasSakalauskas (007).

2 670 Dais George ad Rimsha H I this paper, we cosider the estimatio of three parameter Esscher trasformed Laplace distributio, which is the locatio scale family of Esscher trasformed Laplace distributio itroduced by Sebastia George ad Dais George (01). It is a alterative to the existig heavy-tailed ad asymmetric distributios. Esscher trasformed Laplace distributio satisfies may importat statistical properties like ifiite divisibility, geometric iifiite divisibility, stability with respect to geometric summatio, maximum etropy, fiiteess of momets, simplicity etc. ad subclasses of geometric stable distributios. This model provides more flexibility, allowig for asymmetry, peakedess ad tail heaviess tha the ormal model, which are commo features of may data sets, see Sebastia George ad Dais George (01). The probability desity fuctio of ad the distributio fuctio of oe parameter Esscher traformed Laplace distributio, deoted by ETL( ) is give by ad f(x; ) ={ (1 θ ) (1 θ ) e [x(1+θ)], x < 0, θ < 1 e [ x(1 θ)], x 0, θ < 1, (1) F(x) = { (1 ) (1 ) e [x(1+θ)], x < 0, θ < 1 + (1+θ) (1 e [ x(1 θ)] ), x 0, θ < 1. () Here θ is the parameter of the distributio. Graphs of the p.d.f of ETL( ) for various values of are give i Figure 1. Figure1. Desities of Esscher trasformed Laplace distributio for (a) (-1, 0), (b) = 0 (classical Laplace) ad (c) (0, 1).

THREE PARAMETER ESSCHER TRANSFORMED LAPLACE DISTRIBUTION Itroducig the locatio parameter(µ) ad scale parameter(σ) i the ETL( ) distributio, the p.d.f ad d.f of the ETL(,µ,σ) distributio are as follows: ad f(x;,µ,σ) ={ F(x;,µ,σ) ={ (1 θ ) σ (1 θ ) (1 ) σ 1 (1+ ) e[(x μ σ )(1+θ)], x < μ e [(μ x σ )(1 θ)], x μ, e [(x μ σ )(1+θ)], x < μ e [(μ x σ )(1 θ)], x μ, θ < 1, σ > 0, (3) θ < 1, σ > 0, () Graphs of the desity fuctio of ETL(,µ,σ) for µ = 5 ad for various values Of ad σ i Figure.

PARAMETER ESTIMATION I this sectio, we study the problem of estimatig the parameters of three parameter Esscher trasformed Laplace distributio. Note that our distributios are essetially covolutios of expoetial radom variables of differet sigs, ad commo estimatio procedures for mixtures of positive expoetial distributios are ot applicable i this case. We shall focus o the method of maximum likelihood method of estimatio. 3.1 Maximum Likelihood Estimatio Let X1,X,,X be a i.i.d radom sample from a ETL(,µ,σ) distributio with desity g,µ,σ give by (3) ad let x1, x, x be their particular realizatio. Our goal is to fid the MLEs of the parameters. The likelihood fuctio ca be as where L(X,,µ,σ) = (1 θ ) (x i μ) + = { x i μ, x i μ 0, x i < μ The the log-likelihood fuctio is e[ (1+θ σ ) i=1 (x i μ) ( 1 θ σ ) i=1 (x i μ) + ] (σ) ad, (5) (x i μ) = { μ x i, x i μ 0, x i < μ. logl(x,,µ,σ ) = log(1 - θ ) - log logσ- D σ where D = D(,µ) = (1+ ) i=1(x i μ) + (1 ) i=1 (x i μ) +

CONCLUSION I this paper, we studied the estimatio problem of three parameter Esscher trasformed Laplace distributio, which is the locatio scale family of the oe parameter Esscher trasformed Laplace distributio itroduced by Sebastia George ad Dais George (01). Beig heavy-tailed ad asymmetric, this distributio act as a alterative to various asymmetric distributios ad ca be used for modelig real data sets of that ature which are commoly occurrig from diverse fields such as busiess, telecommuicatios, physical ad biological scieces ad hece the estimatio of parameters holds its importace.
