easy that the offspring are placed symmetrically in relation to the position
of the parents. We have that for small b values the offspring are likely to
be produced near to the parents, and for large b values, the offspring are
produced far from the parents. The parameter is called location
parameter, and the parameter is called the scale parameter. Figure
