KURT
This function returns the kurtosis of a data set.
Syntax
KURT(number1, [number2], ...)
Arguments
This function has these arguments:
Argument | Description |
|---|---|
number1, number2, ... | Number1 is required, subsequent numbers are optional. 1 to 255 arguments for which you want to calculate kurtosis. You can also use a single array or a reference to an array instead of arguments separated by commas. |
Remarks
Kurtosis describes how peaked or flat a distribution is compared with the normal distribution. Positive kurtosis indicates a relatively peaked distribution. Negative kurtosis indicates a relatively flat distribution.
If the standard deviation of the values is zero, this function returns the #DIV/0! error value.
Examples
KURT(F1:F8)
KURT(R1C6:R8C6)
KURT(F1:F8,G1:G8)
KURT(35,31,47,51,37,31,58,39) gives the result -0.7496238078
