#' @title Calculates the kurtosis of a numeric variable
#' @description This function calculates the kurtosis of a numeric variable for each study separately.
#' @details The function calculates the kurtosis of an input variable x with three different methods.
#' The method is specified by the argument \code{method} in the client-side \code{ds.kurtosis} function.
#' @param x a string character, the name of a numeric variable.
#' @param method an integer between 1 and 3 selecting one of the algorithms for computing kurtosis
#' detailed in the headers of the client-side \code{ds.kurtosis} function.
#' @return a list including the kurtosis of the input numeric variable, the number of valid observations and
#' the study-side validity message.
