statsmodels.emplike.descriptive.DescStatUV.ci_kurt

DescStatUV.ci_kurt(sig=0.05, upper_bound=None, lower_bound=None) [source]

Returns the confidence interval for kurtosis.

Parameters:	sig (float) – The significance level. Default is .05 upper_bound (float) – Maximum value of kurtosis the upper limit can be. Default is .99 confidence limit assuming normality. lower_bound (float) – Minimum value of kurtosis the lower limit can be. Default is .99 confidence limit assuming normality.
Returns:	Interval – Lower and upper confidence limit
Return type:	tuple

Notes

For small n, upper_bound and lower_bound may have to be provided by the user. Consider using test_kurt to find values close to the desired significance level.

If function returns f(a) and f(b) must have different signs, consider expanding the bounds.
