Kurtosis is a descriptive statistic used to help measure how data disperse between a distribution's center and tails, with larger values indicating a data distribution may have “heavy” tails that are …

Kurtosis (or, more accurately, the excess kurtosis) is a mathematical term that measures how much a distribution deviates from being Gaussian. Kurtosis can be measured directly from an …

Feb 6, 2010 · Kurtosis is the degree of peakedness of a distribution, usually taken relative to a normal distribution. A distribution having a relatively high peak such as the curve of Fig. 3.2(a) …

On kurtosis of surface elevation. A strong link between increasing kurtosis and increasing freak wave occurrence was established by Mori and Janssen (2006), and hence, it has been used in …

The coefficient of kurtosis (or also excess kurtosis or just excess) is used to assess whether a density is more or less peaked around its center, than the density of a normal curve and …

Jan 15, 2025 · Aiming at solving the limitation, a novel maximum L-Kurtosis deconvolution (MLKD) algorithm is proposed. Firstly, the L-Kurtosis is introduced, and the results show that it …

Sep 7, 1992 · Kurtosis of log-transformed data might then be an index of distribution bimodalizability, provided their skewness is close to zero. Ford (1975) and Rabinowitz (1979) …

Jan 1, 2016 · Kurtosis is a measure of peakedness, and hence it is a good indicator of signal impulsiveness in the context of fault detection for rotating components. Kurtosis is expressed …
