Distribution Shape: Skewness & Kurtosis
Skewness (): 0.0Symmetric (Zero Skew)
Negative SkewSymmetric (0)Positive Skew
Kurtosis (): 3.0Mesokurtic (Normal)
Platykurtic (Flat)Mesokurtic (3)Leptokurtic (Peaked)
Statistical Moments
• Skewness measures the asymmetry of the PDF around the mean. A positive skew has a tail extending towards more positive values.
• Kurtosismeasures the "tailedness" of the distribution. Fatter tails and a sharper peak characterize high kurtosis (Leptokurtic).
