A simple relaxation function I(t/tauzero; alpha, beta) unifying the stretched exponential with the compressed hyperbola is obtained, and its properties studied. The scaling parameter tauzero has dimensions of time, whereas the shape-determining parameters alpha and beta are dimensionless, both taking values between 0 and 1. For short times, the relaxation function is always exponential, with time constant tauzero. For small values of alpha, the function is close to exponential for all times, irrespective of beta. The function is also close to an exponential when beta is near unity, irrespective of alpha. For large values of alpha and long times, the function is close to a stretched exponential, provided that beta>0. The compressed hyperbola is recovered for beta=0.
