kurtosis  

Définition

  • Kurtosis is commonly thought of as a measure of the “pointyness” of a frequency distribution. This is because kurtosis is the degree to which scores cluster in the tails of a frequency distribution: A platykurtic distribution has many scores in the tails (often called a heavy-tailed distribution) and so is typically quite flat, whereas a leptokurtic distribution is relatively thin in the tails and so looks quite pointy. [Source: Encyclopedia of Measurement and Statistics; Kurtosis]
