Kurtosis is a statistical measure of the degree of "tailedness" in a distribution. Learn about the Pearson, excess and other kurtosis measures, and how they relate to outliers, skewness and peakedness.
27 cze 2022 · Kurtosis is a measure of the tailedness of a distribution, which shows how often outliers occur. Learn about the types of kurtosis (mesokurtic, platykurtic and leptokurtic) and how to calculate them.
31 lip 2023 · Kurtosis measures how scores are distributed in a frequency curve. Positive kurtosis means the curve has a high peak and heavy tails, while negative kurtosis means the curve has a low peak and light tails.
6 gru 2023 · Learn how to measure and visualize the shape of distributions using skewness and kurtosis metrics. Skewness indicates the asymmetry of the tails, while kurtosis indicates the peakedness of the center.
8 lut 2022 · Kurtosis is a statistic that measures the extent to which a distribution contains outliers. Leptokurtic distributions have higher kurtosis than normal and more outliers in the tails, while platykurtic distributions have lower kurtosis and fewer outliers.
16 cze 2021 · Learn how to measure and interpret skewness and kurtosis of a distribution using density curves, moments, and examples. Skewness and kurtosis are indicators of the shape and tail of a distribution.
31 lip 2024 · Kurtosis is a statistical measure of how much data resides in the tails of a distribution. Learn about the three types of kurtosis (mesokurtic, platykurtic, and leptokurtic) and how they affect investment risk.
