Laplace distribution
This is defined as follows:
where is the "constricting" factor. The smaller the , the sharper the peak.
Dirac distribution
If all the mass in a distribution is in a singular point, we arrive at the Dirac Delta function. The PDF of is infinite at and zero everywhere else, and the integral of the PDF is 1. As such, it's less of a "function" and more of a distribution
Empirical distribution
If you are given a bunch of points, the following will maximize the likelihood of the data:
(if you think about it, it's kinda obvious)
