Double exponential distribution in Figure 1

I believe that the author meant the Gumbel distribution. Any comments?

I believe you are right. Gumbel distribution is also termed double exponential. But it is sorts of trick, since Laplace distribution bears the name too.BrennoBarbosa (talk) 23:41, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Generalized Gamma Distribution

Generally, the stretched exponential function is associated with a life time distribution (reliability or survival analysis). For example, one may be interested in some decay time for fluorescence etc.. In this case, we can regard such "probability density function" as a particular case of the Generalized gamma distribution. I'm far from being a expert in any of this issue, but I think it is worth mentioning somehow.BrennoBarbosa (talk) 23:35, 9 February 2014 (UTC)[reply]
