kurtosis R Documentation
Pearson's Measure of Kurtosis
Description
Defined as the ratio of the 4th central moment and the squared
second central moment. Under perfect normality, the kurtosis equals 3.
Put differently, we do not show "excess kurtosis" but rather kurtosis.
Usage
kurtosis(z, na.rm = TRUE)
Arguments
z
A numeric vector.
na.rm
Logical flag indicating whether to remove missing values or not.
Default is TRUE.
Value
Numeric vector of length 1.
See Also
moment(), skewness()
Examples
kurtosis(1:10)
kurtosis(rnorm(1000))
