hello again pf!
as a really simple question, can someone talk to me about the difference between variance and kurtosis? i know as kurtosis decreases from 3 (normal distribution) our pdf is shorter and fatter, with less weight in the tails. i also know variance tells us how dispersed data is.
but, how to these compare?
please, can someone explain what high kurtosis and low variance means?
thanks!
josh
