Do you think we are going to have to calculate sample kurtosis or just have to interpret?作者: draz 时间: 2011-7-13 16:34
Very unlikely to ask us to calculate.作者: MonkeyBusiness 时间: 2011-7-13 16:34
I <3 Kurtosis
I do not heart calculating Kurtosis.

LOS clearly states that you only have to interpret not calculate. If they (CFAI) stick to anything, then I would put my money on the LOS.作者: nitoha 时间: 2011-7-13 16:34
So basically know about -3 excess kurtosis, maybe memorize the terms lepto, meso.. etc作者: ftwcfa 时间: 2011-7-13 16:34

You need to know these terms and also what is regarded as significant.
Same applies for skewness!作者: ramdabom 时间: 2011-7-13 16:34
In the LOS says also "define", and I think it is essential to know the formula for skewness and kurtosis in order to be able to do that (you have to define sample skewness and sample kurtosis!)作者: Penny-wenny 时间: 2011-7-13 16:34
They may ask you what it means if a distribution is leptokurtic or whatever, calculation is very very very unlikely.
