Kurtosis, or the fourth central moment in statistics, is commonly used to estimate the shape of the statistical distribution of a signal (or data). It is widely used for detecting non-normality in the ...

The diffusion kurtosis observed with diffusion magnetic resonance imaging (dMRI) may vary with direction. This directional variation is summarized in the scalar kurtosis fractional anisotropy (KFA).

In many applications, the manifest variables are not even approximately multivariate normal. If this happens to be the case with your data set, the default generalized least-squares and maximum ...

Kurtosis is a statistical measure that describes the shape of a distribution's tails in relation to a normal distribution. In finance, kurtosis is used to assess the risk of investments, particularly ...
