Kurtosis

Overview

Kurtosis is the fourth moment of a statistical distribution.

Kurtosis

Kurtosis is defined as
{% kurtosis = E[(X_i - \mu)^4] %}
where {% \mu %} is the mean of the distribution.

The following demonstrates how to calculate the skew of a population using the moments library.

let mt = await import('/code/moments/v1.0.0/moments.mjs'); let numbers = [1,2,3,4,5]; let kurtosis = mt.kurtosis(numbers);
