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.
