统计学 | 峰度系数与肥尾理解

峰度系数>0，尖峰（that is, a higher probability than a normally distributed variable of values near the mean)、肥尾（that is, a higher probability than a normally distributed variable of extreme values）
峰度系数<0，低峰（ a smaller “peak” around the mean）痩尾
国内课本上写的不对，不是直接导致尖峰扁平，而是导致肥尾痩尾。

肥尾一定尖峰吗? 不一定

尖峰=峰更高吗（more peaked?）不是，尖峰

Distributions with zero kurtosis are called mesokurtic, or mesokurtotic. 例子：正态分布，除了这个，其他分布很少
A distribution with positive kurtosis is called leptokurtic, or leptokurtotic.例子： Laplace distribution and the logistic distribution.
A distribution with negative kurtosis is called pla
