mkurtosis

Syntax

mkurtosis(X, window, [biased=true], [minPeriods])

Arguments

biased is a Boolean value indicating whether the result is biased. The default value is true, meaning the bias is not corrected.

Please see mFunctions for the parameters and windowing logic.

Details

Calculate the moving kurtosis of X in a sliding window.

Examples

m=matrix(1 9 3 100 3 2 1 -100 9 10000, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 100);
m.mkurtosis(8);

The default case of kurtosis in DolphinDB is biased (biased = true), while in pandas and Excel it is unbiased estimation, and the kurtosis value 3 of the normal distribution is subtracted.

The following example illustrates the equivalent conversion between the two when using a sliding window:

// python
m = [[1111,2], [323,9], [43,12], [51,32], [6,400]]
df = pandas.DataFrame(m)
y = df.rolling(4).kurt()

// dolphindb
m=matrix(1111 323 43 51 6, 2 9 12 32 400)
m.mkurtosis(4, false)-3
