Hi, could someone tell me what the ‘absolute’ skew and kurtosis values are in terms of SPSS output please? I understand you get the z-scores from doing skew/skew.error and same with kurtosis, but I do not know what the ‘absolute’ values are, and I am trying to follow guidance fo...
KurtosisConfidence intervalsMany statistics packages print skewness and kurtosis statistics with estimates of their standard errors. The function most often used for the standard errors (e.g., in SPSS) assumes that the data are drawn from a normal distribution, an unlikely situation. Some textbooks ...

Skewness, Kurtosis, and the Normal CurveSkewnessIn everyday language, the terms skewed and askew are used to refer to so
To facilitate future report of skewness and kurtosis, we provide a tutorial on how to compute univariate and multivariate skewness and kurtosis by SAS, SPSS, R and a newly developed Web application.Meghan K. CainUniversityofZhiyong Zhang...
replicates the formulas used in Excel and SPSS. However, it is worth noting that the formula used for kurtosis in these programs actually calculates what is sometimes called "excess kurtosis" - put simply, the formula includes an adjustment so that a normal distribution has a kurtosis of zero....
1、 Skewness, Kurtosis, and the Normal Curve Skewness In everyday language, the terms “skewed” and “askew” are used to refer to something that is out of line or distorted on one side. When referring to the shape of frequency or probability distributions, “skewness” refers to asymmetry...

We use a skew normal distribution and adjust a parameter that shifts both the skew and the excess kurtosis. Due to the nature of the skew normal distribution, we cannot fix the excess kurtosis. Note that these skewness values use the traditional calculation of skewness (Pearson’s moment ...
Over the years, various measures of sample skewness and kurtosis have been proposed. Comparisons are made between those measures adopted by well-known statistical computing packages, focusing on bias and mean-squared error for normal samples, and presenting some comparisons from simulation results for ...
