Example Sentences

low‑kurtosis distributions often exhibit a flatter peak and lighter tails compared to normal distributions.

when the data show a low‑kurtosis pattern, the histogram appears more plateau‑like than peaked.

a low‑kurtosis signal is desirable in audio processing because it reduces the impact of extreme amplitude spikes.

the model assumes low‑kurtosis residuals, implying that large deviations are relatively infrequent.

in risk analysis, a low‑kurtosis return distribution suggests fewer extreme losses than a high‑kurtosis one.

the test for normality rejected the hypothesis because the sample exhibited low‑kurtosis behavior.

researchers prefer a low‑kurtosis curve when visualizing data that lack severe outliers.

a low‑kurtosis time series often indicates stable volatility with occasional minor fluctuations.
