Dear friends, I am preparing a class on Kurtosis and Skewness and I can found different formulas to calculate each one.
Another problem is that for some formulas the result zero represents a normal distribution but..... using another formula the result value 3 represents a normal distribution! I think we need to be very carefull because diferent softwares are using different formulas. Does anyone can help me to choose the best formulas or give me some explanation? Thanks.....
