[R] convolution of the double exponential distribution

[Bickel, David]

Is there any R function that computes the convolution of the double
exponential distribution?

If not, is there a good way to integrate ((q+x)^n)*exp(-2x) over x from
0 to Inf for any value of q and for any positive integer n? I need to
perform the integration within a function with q and n as arguments. The
function integrate() is giving me this message:

"evaluation of function gave a result of wrong length"
