\usage{
kurtosis(x, na.rm = FALSE)

\method{kurtosis}{default}(x, na.rm = FALSE)

\method{kurtosis}{matrix}(x, na.rm = FALSE)

\method{kurtosis}{data.frame}(x, na.rm = FALSE)
}
\arguments{
\item{x}{a vector of values, a \code{\link{matrix}} or a \code{\link{data.frame}}}

\item{na.rm}{a logical value indicating whether \code{NA} values should be stripped before the computation proceeds.}
}
\description{
Kurtosis is a measure of the "tailedness" of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable.

The \link[AMR:lifecycle]{lifecycle} of this function is \strong{questioning}. We are no longer convinced that this function is the optimal approach (but we do not know yet what a better approach would be), or whether this function should be in our \code{AMR} package at all.
