*This function gives the value of Kurtosis of a given set.
*Kurtosis is  the peakedness or flatness of the graph of a frequency distribution especially with respect to the concentration of values near the mean as compared with the normal distribution.

*Kurtosis is  the peak or flatness of a frequency distribution graph especially with respect to the concentration of values near the Mean as compared with the Normal Distribution.
*A normal distribution  has a kurtosis of 3.
+
*A normal distribution  has a Kurtosis of 3.
*Distributions having higher kurtosis have flatter tails or more extreme values that phenomenon called 'leptokurtosis'also it is the positive excess kurtosis , and those with lower kurtosis have fatter middles or fewer extreme value that phenomenon called 'platykurtosis' also it is the negative excess kurtosis.

*Example for positive kurtosis(leptokurtosis) is Exponential distribution,possion distribution, Laplace distribution.
