Kurtosis is a statistic that is used to measure the "flatness" or "peakedness" of a set of data. The kurtosis of an analysis domain is calculated as follows:
summation is over all samples i in the region.
n is the number of samples included in the summation. Ei is the linear Sv of sample i (m2/m3) - set to 0 for any sample where Ei < mSv or Ei > MSv, En is the observed Mean Energy of the region in linear units (m2/m3) = 10Sv/10 mSv is the minimum integration threshold (dB re 1 m-1) at time of processing. MSv is the maximum integration threshold (dB re 1 m-1) at time of processing. ESD Standard_deviation (Standard Deviation of the Energy)
All symbols are as defined in the nomenclature developed for SHAPES algorithms.
