Function rgsl::statistics::kurtosis
source · [−]Expand description
This function computes the kurtosis of data, a dataset of length n with stride stride. The kurtosis is defined as,
kurtosis = ((1/N) \sum ((x_i - \Hat\mu)/\Hat\sigma)^4) - 3
The kurtosis measures how sharply peaked a distribution is, relative to its width. The kurtosis is normalized to zero for a Gaussian distribution.
