"Platykurtic" refers to a statistical distribution that has a flatter peak compared to a normal distribution. This means that the data points are more spread out and have lighter tails, indicating fewer extreme values. In a platykurtic distribution, the kurtosis value is less than three, which is the kurtosis of a normal distribution. Common examples of platykurtic distributions include the uniform distribution and certain types of binomial distributions. These distributions are useful in various fields, including finance and psychology, as they help in understanding the variability and behavior of data sets with less concentration around the mean.
