Compare two double-exponentials approximations to a normal distribution

Description

This simple program compares a double-exponential distribution with parameter a=1 and a double-exponential distribution with parameter a!=1 in their approximation to the standard normal distribution. Quite obviously, this function is not to be used when compared when rnorm.

Usage

normbyde(nsim = 10^3, a = 3)

Arguments

Value

The function produces a tryptich graph with the comparison of the cumulated averages, and both acf graphs.
