Kurtosis is a measure of the "tailedness" of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable, i.e. its value describes the thickness of the distribution’s tails.

In this unit, the concepts of skewness are described in Section 4.2 whereas the various measures of skewness are given with examples in Section 4.3. In Section 4.4, the concepts and the measures of kurtosis are described.
27 cze 2022 · Kurtosis is a measure of the tailedness of a distribution. Tailedness is how often outliers occur. Excess kurtosis is the tailedness of a distribution relative to a normal distribution. Distributions with medium kurtosis (medium tails) are mesokurtic. Distributions with low kurtosis (thin tails) are platykurtic.
11 wrz 2014 · Kurtosis. Definition 2: Kurtosis provides a measurement of the extremities (i.e. tails) of the distribution of data, and therefore indicates the presence of outliers. Excel calculates the kurtosis of a sample S as follows: where x̄ is the mean and s is the standard deviation of S. To avoid division by zero, this formula requires that n > 3.
