For calculating kurtosis, you first need to calculate each observations deviation from the mean the difference between each value and arithmetic average of all values. The sample kurtosis is a useful measure of whether there is a problem with outliers in a data set. Expectation, variance, skew, kurtosis and covariance are. We illustrate the consequences of nonnormality only partially.

We will consider how data may be distributed, how to describe these shapes, what constitutes a normal distribution, and how to deal with data that. The skewness is a parameter to measure the symmetry of a data set and the kurtosis to measure how heavy its tails are compared to a normal distribution, see for example here scipy. Kurtosis and density crossings figures 2 and 3 show a basic characteristic of dis. Kurtosis is a measure of how outlierprone a distribution is. The role of kurtosis in testing univariate and multivariate normality. Notes econ 2370 statistics and probabilit y a 4 3 kurtosis. Take a sequence of millisec timestamps for instance. A normal distribution has skewness and excess kurtosis of 0, so if your distribution is close to those values then it is probably close to normal. What is the difference between skewness and kurtosis. Nonnormality of univariate data has been extensively examined previously blanca et al. Page 1 expectation, variance, skew, kurtosis and covariance are statistical measures which help characterize the probability distribution associated with a random variable.

Distributions that are more outlierprone than the normal distribution have kurtosis greater than 3. Larger kurtosis indicates a more serious outlier problem, and may lead the researcher to choose alternative statistical methods. Moments at the beginning of chapter 3, we noted that the mean and variance had very similar definitions. Conceptually, skewness describes which side of a distribution has a longer tail. Kurtosis and density crossings figures 2 and 3 show a basic characteristic of dis tributions with excess kurtosis. This works great for mean, but im not seeing how it produces anything remotely close to median. Therefore, we will take a moment to comment on how skew and kurtosis are computed in populations and samples. Pdf alphaskew generalized t distribution researchgate.
