Question:

(b) Show that if the data are iid with the Laplace (double exponential)

distribution, f ( yi ∣ ????) = 0.5exp(−||

yi − ????(xi)||

), where ????(xi) = ????0 +????1xi1 +⋯+????pxip, thenML estimates of ????0,…, ????p are obtained by minimizing the sum of absolute deviations of the y values from their expected values.
