For a sample of n values, a method of moments estimator of the population excess kurtosis can be defined as = = = (¯) [= (¯)] where m 4 is the fourth sample moment about the mean, m 2 is the second sample moment about the mean (that is, the sample variance), x i is the i th value, and ¯ is the sample mean.
In the following, { x i } denotes a sample of n observations, g 1 and g 2 are the sample skewness and kurtosis, m j ’s are the j-th sample central moments, and ¯ is the sample mean. Frequently in the literature related to normality testing, the skewness and kurtosis are denoted as √ β 1 and β 2 respectively.
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 ...
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.
In statistics, the Jarque–Bera test is a goodness-of-fit test of whether sample data have the skewness and kurtosis matching a normal distribution. The test is named after Carlos Jarque and Anil K. Bera. The test statistic is always nonnegative. If it is far from zero, it signals the data do not have a normal distribution.

Let X and Y each be normally distributed with correlation coefficient ρ. The cokurtosis terms are (,,,) = +(,,,) = (,,,) =Since the cokurtosis depends only on ρ, which is already completely determined by the lower-degree covariance matrix, the cokurtosis of the bivariate normal distribution contains no new information about the distribution.
