  2. Kurtosis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtosis

    Larger kurtosis indicates a more serious outlier problem, and may lead the researcher to choose alternative statistical methods. D'Agostino's K-squared test is a goodness-of-fit normality test based on a combination of the sample skewness and sample kurtosis, as is the Jarque–Bera test for normality.

  3. Kurtosis risk - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurtosis_risk

    Kurtosis risk applies to any kurtosis-related quantitative model that assumes the normal distribution for certain of its independent variables when the latter may in fact have kurtosis much greater than does the normal distribution. Kurtosis risk is commonly referred to as "fat tail" risk. The "fat tail" metaphor explicitly describes the ...

  4. D'Agostino's K-squared test - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/D'Agostino's_K-squared_test

    For example even with n = 5000 observations the sample kurtosis g 2 has both the skewness and the kurtosis of approximately 0.3, which is not negligible. In order to remedy this situation, it has been suggested to transform the quantities g 1 and g 2 in a way that makes their distribution as close to standard normal as possible.

  5. Higher-order statistics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Higher-order_statistics

    HOS are particularly used in the estimation of shape parameters, such as skewness and kurtosis, as when measuring the deviation of a distribution from the normal distribution. In statistical theory , one long-established approach to higher-order statistics, for univariate and multivariate distributions is through the use of cumulants and joint ...

  6. L-moment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L-moment

    For instance, the Laplace distribution has a kurtosis of 6 and weak exponential tails, but a larger 4th L-moment ratio than e.g. the student-t distribution with d.f.=3, which has an infinite kurtosis and much heavier tails. As an example consider a dataset with a few data points and one outlying data value.

  7. Unimodality - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unimodality

    Rohatgi and Szekely claimed that the skewness and kurtosis of a unimodal distribution are related by the inequality: [13] = where κ is the kurtosis and γ is the skewness. Klaassen, Mokveld, and van Es showed that this only applies in certain settings, such as the set of unimodal distributions where the mode and mean coincide.

    A Michigan college student said he recently received a message from an AI chatbot telling him to “please die." The experience freaked him out, and now he's calling for accountability.

  9. Statistical population - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Statistical_population

    In statistics, a population is a set of similar items or events which is of interest for some question or experiment. [1] A statistical population can be a group of existing objects (e.g. the set of all stars within the Milky Way galaxy) or a hypothetical and potentially infinite group of objects conceived as a generalization from experience (e.g. the set of all possible hands in a game of ...
