Excess Kurtosis
Exponential distribution excess kurtosis.
The excess kurtosis for an exponential random variable is
where lambda > 0
is the rate parameter.
Installation
$ npm install distributions-exponential-ekurtosis

Usage
var ekurtosis = ;
ekurtosis( lambda[, opts] )
Computes the excess kurtosis for an exponential distribution with parameter lambda
. lambda
may be either a number
, an array
, a typed array
, or a matrix
.
var matrix =datamatouti;out = ;// returns NaNlambda = -1 0 05 1 ;out = ;// returns [ NaN, NaN, 6, 6 ]lambda = lambda ;out = ;// returns Float64Array( [NaN,NaN,6,6] )lambda = ;/*[ -1 0,0.5 1 ]*/out = ;/*[ NaN NaN,6 6 ]*/
The function accepts the following options
:
- accessor: accessor
function
for accessingarray
values. - dtype: output
typed array
ormatrix
data type. Default:float64
. - copy:
boolean
indicating if thefunction
should return a new data structure. Default:true
. - path: deepget/deepset key path.
- sep: deepget/deepset key path separator. Default:
'.'
.
For non-numeric arrays
, provide an accessor function
for accessing array
values.
var lambda =0-11020531;{return d 1 ;}var out =;// returns [ NaN, NaN, 6, 6 ]
To deepset an object array
, provide a key path and, optionally, a key path separator.
var lambda ='x':9-1'x':90'x':905'x':91;var out = ;/*[{'x':[9,NaN]},{'x':[9,NaN]},{'x':[9,6]},{'x':[9,6]},]*/var bool = data === out ;// returns true
By default, when provided a typed array
or matrix
, the output data structure is float64
in order to preserve precision. To specify a different data type, set the dtype
option (see matrix
for a list of acceptable data types).
var lambda out;lambda = -10051 ;out =;// returns Int32Array( [ NaN,NaN,6,6 ] )// Works for plain arrays, as well...out =;// returns Int32Array( [ NaN,NaN,6,6 ] )
By default, the function returns a new data structure. To mutate the input data structure (e.g., when input values can be discarded or when optimizing memory usage), set the copy
option to false
.
var lambdaboolmatouti;lambda = -1 0 05 1 ;out =;// returns [ NaN, NaN, 6, 6 ]bool = data === out ;// returns truemat = ;/*[ -1 0,0.5 1 ]*/out =;/*[ NaN NaN,6 6 ]*/bool = mat === out ;// returns true
Notes
-
If an element is not a positive number, the excess kurtosis is
NaN
.var lambda out;out = ;// returns NaNout = ;// returns NaNout = ;// returns NaNout = ;// returns NaNout = ;// returns NaNout = ;// returns [ NaN, NaN, NaN ]{return dx;}lambda ='x':true'x':'x':{}'x':null;out =;// returns [ NaN, NaN, NaN, NaN ]out =;/*[{'x':NaN},{'x':NaN},{'x':NaN,{'x':NaN}]*/ -
Be careful when providing a data structure which contains non-numeric elements and specifying an
integer
output data type, asNaN
values are cast to0
.var out =;// returns Int8Array( [0,0,0] );
Examples

Tests
Unit
Unit tests use the Mocha test framework with Chai assertions. To run the tests, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test
All new feature development should have corresponding unit tests to validate correct functionality.
Test Coverage
This repository uses Istanbul as its code coverage tool. To generate a test coverage report, execute the following command in the top-level application directory:
$ make test-cov
Istanbul creates a ./reports/coverage
directory. To access an HTML version of the report,
$ make view-cov
