Kurtosis is a measure of a distribution's peakedness. It tells us how sharply peaked the distribution is, compared to the normal distribution. A high kurtosis indicates a sharp peak (more data clustered around the mean) and thick tails, whereas a low kurtosis indicates a flatter peak and thin tails.
