Excess kurtosis of a univariate random variable is defined as its kurtosis minus 3, i.e. the kurtosis of a normal distribution. Excess kurtosis is a one of a dispersion measures. This parameter provides the information about peakedness and tail weight of a distribution compared to normal distribution. In the paper we propose a generalization of this characteristic for random vectors and analyze its...
This paper uses the generalised skew Student (GST) distribution to model returns on Polish stocks that are constituents of the WIG20 index. A basic analysis of returns provides strong evidence of skewness and kurtosis, both of which can be accommodated by the generalised skew Student model. Three specific forms of the GST distribution are used. These are Student's t itself, the symmetric generalised...
