| Frequency distributions of distances dispersed by animals are most always leptokurtic. |
|
| Bluehead chub, creek chub, and redbreast sunfish movement distributions were significantly leptokurtic. |
|
| The fitness distribution of the MA lines is leptokurtic and skewed to the left. |
|
| The tails of distribution do not present strong leptokurtic characteristics, despite the presence of Pareto jumps on the short rates. |
|
| The first dataset illustrates leptokurtic errors and the second dataset illustrates platykurtic errors. |
|
| More descriptively, platykurtic curves tend to be elongated and flat, leptokurtic appear taller and narrow, and mesokurtic curves tend to be bell-shaped like the normal curve. |
|
| However, all of the fitness and morphological traits they reviewed had distributions of mutant effects more leptokurtic than a normal distribution. |

|
| In the risk-management community, the common response to the fat-tails critique is to say: come on, we never believed returns were normally distributed: we all knew they were leptokurtic. |
|
| In addition, the two variables show right-skewness and leptokurtic distributions. |
|
| Multivariate kurtosis can be problematic by either inflating or deflating standard errors depending on whether the distribution is leptokurtic or platykurtic. |
|
| First, generally equity returns do not follow a Gaussian distribution and their third and fourth moments confirm skewed and leptokurtic distributions. |
|
| In technical terms, the distribution of price changes is leptokurtic, with more extreme events in the tails than are found in Gaussian distribution. |
