kurtosis

Returns the kurtosis of the data, x. "Kurtosis is a measure of the "peakedness"
of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable. Higher kurtosis
means more of the variance is due to infrequent extreme deviations, as opposed to
frequent modestly-sized deviations." (Wikipedia)

Examples:

(kurtosis (sample-normal 100000)) ;; approximately 0
(kurtosis (sample-gamma 100000)) ;; approximately 6
