DistributionShape
streaming mode | Statistics category
Inputs
- centralMoments (vector_real) - the central moments of a distribution
Outputs
- spread (real) - the spread (variance) of the distribution
- skewness (real) - the skewness of the distribution
- kurtosis (real) - the kurtosis of the distribution
Description
This algorithm computes the spread (variance), skewness and kurtosis of an array given its central moments. The extracted features are good indicators of the shape of the distribution. For the required input see CentralMoments algorithm. The size of the input array must be at least 5. An exception will be thrown otherwise.
