The qualitative meaning of central moments up to 4th order (mean, variance, skewness, and kurtosis) is well documented and explained in literature. I am posting this question because I am interested to know if any of the higher moments (5th, 6th, and so on) has some clear qualitative meaning as well.
In particular, I am wondering if any of the high-order moments (or some combination of these) could be perhaps well-suited to detect a distribution that is a bit "bumpy" (compared for example, to a normal distribution) but possibly symmetric.
Thank you,
Daniel
