What is the difference between the kurtosis function in DolphinDB and the kurt function in pandas?

52 views Asked by At

The kurt function seems to support only unbiased estimation while the kurtosis function returns a biased result by default. How to make the kurt result in pandas consistent with that of kurtosis(biased=true) in DolphinDB?

The kurtosis function in DolphinDB returns a biased result by default (biased = true), while in pandas it returns an unbiased result, and the kurtosis value “3” of the normal distribution is subtracted.

In Python, you can use scipy.stats.kurtosis(x, fisher=False) to achieve the behavior of kurtosis(x) in DolphinDB.
