Abstract
We have compiled a sample of 90 SNe Ia from 1997 to 1999 (up to SN 1999da) and studied the peculiarity rate of SN 1991T, SN 1991bg and SN 1986G-like objects. A Monte Carlo code is written to study the observational biases involved in the evaluation of the intrinsic peculiarity rate of SNe Ia. We found that the peculiarity rate of SNe Ia is higher than 30% and the luminosity function of SNe Ia is flat.
