kurtosis

kurtosis(
o_waveform
)
=> n_kurtosis / nil

Calculates the kurtosis of the specified waveform.

Kurtosis is a measurement of whether the data is heavy-tailed or light-tailed relative to a normal distribution.

Datasets with high kurtosis tend to have heavy tails or outliers. Datasets with low kurtosis tend to have light tails or few outliers.

o_waveform

Waveform whose kurtosis is to be calculated.

n_kurtosis	Kurtosis value of the specified waveform.
`nil`	Kurtosis value cannot be calculated because of an error.

The following example opens simulation results stored in the specified directory.

openResults("/servers/user/distribution.psf")

=> "/servers/user/distribution.psf"

The following example lists the results contained in the results directory.

results()

=> ("tran")

The following example selects the tran results of the results directory.

selectResults('tran)

=> stdobj@0x2a9de759

The following example creates a waveform object for the signal v1net stored in the tran results.

waveform=v("v1net" ?result "tran")

=> srrWave:0x3232c020

The following example calculates the kurtosis value of the specified waveform.

kurtosis(waveform)

=> 1.939457
