In order to construct the asymmetric models and analyzing data set with asymmetric properties, an useful approach is the weighted model. In this paper, a new class of skew-Laplace distributions is introduced by considering a two-parameter weight function which is appropriate to asymmetric and multimodal data sets. Also, some properties of the new distribution namely skewness and kurtosis coefficients, moment generating function, etc are studied. Finally, The practical utility of the methodology is illustrated through a real data collection.

In many applications, observations have a skewness, an elongated shape, a heavy tail, a multi-mode structure, or a mixed distribution. Therefore, models based on the normal distribution cannot provide correct inferences under such conditions and can lead to biased estimators or increased variance. The Laplace distribution and its generalizations can be suitable alternatives in such situations due to their elongation, heavy tails, and skewness. On the other hand, in models based on mixed distributions, there is always a possibility that fewer samples are available from one or more components. Therefore, given the Bayesian approach's advantage in handling small samples, this research developed a Bayesian model to fit a finite mixed regression model with skew-Laplace distributions and conducted a simulation study to assess its performance. Laplace has been compared in two approaches, frequentist and Bayesian. The results show that the Bayesian approach of the model is more effective than other  models.
