01
What is Kurtosis? Kurtosis is a statistical measure used to describe the degree to which scores cluster in the tails or the peak of a frequency distribution. The peak is the tallest part of the distribution, and the tails are the ends of the distribution.<br>
02
Types of kurtosis: Mesokurtic: Distributions that are moderate in breadth and curves with a medium peaked height.
Leptokurtic: More values in the distribution tails and more values close to the mean (i.e. sharply peaked with heavy tails)
Platykurtic: Fewer values in the tails and fewer values close to the mean (i.e. the curve has a flat peak and has more dispersed scores with lighter tails).<br>
03
What does it mean when kurtosis is zero? When kurtosis is equal to 0, the distribution is mesokurtic. This means the kurtosis is the same as the normal distribution, it is mesokurtic (medium peak). The kurtosis of a mesokurtic distribution is neither high nor low, rather it is considered to be a baseline for the two other classifications.<br>
