• Biexponential time-series models commonly find use in pharmacokinetics.
• In statistics, the biexponential distribution ${\displaystyle Y=p\lambda _{1}e^{-\lambda _{1}{\text{ }}X}+(p-1)\lambda _{2}e^{-\lambda _{2}{\text{ }}X}}$, where ${\displaystyle 0<p<1}$, is a sum of two exponential distributions.
