Gaussian check : Skewness and kurtosis • The Skewness characterizes the degree of asymmetry of a distribution around its mean. Variance : Skewness : Skewness < 0 Skewness >0 Positively skewed Distribution Negatively skewed Distribution • The Kurtosis measures the relative peakedness or flatness of distribution. Kurtosis : • A distribution with positive Kurtosis is termed leptokurtic. • A distribution with negative Kurtosis is termed platykurtic. • A distribution with 0 Kurtosis is termed mesokurtic. In the case of Gaussian, we expect that the values of Skewness and Kurtosis are 0.
