ssKurtosis¶
Purpose¶
Compute the sample kurtosis.
Format¶
-
k =
ssKurtosis(x[, excess])¶ Parameters: - x (Vector) – Nx1, sample data.
- excess (Scalar) – Optional argument. Indicator for computing excess kurtosis. If anything other than 0, excess kurtosis is computed. Default = 0.
Returns: k (Scalar) – Sample kurtosis.
Examples¶
// Generate random vector of residuals
rndseed 929212;
resid = rndn(150, 1);
// Compute sample skewness
k = ssKurtosis(resid);
The code above results in the following:
k = 2.7234
