Kurtosis value fro car engine
Kurtosis value fro car engine
(OP)
I have downloaded some car engine vibration data and made a simpe C program for vibration analysis. However I get exeptionaly high kurtosis values in range 100-200, sometimes (for some regimes) even 300. I have checked my code for curtosis, seems good, it gives correct value for sinusoidal test signal (1.5), but when I put engine vibration data I get in my oppinion silly results. Could kurtosis be so large number? Asking this as I simply can't find error in kurtosis code implementation, all other statistical values I have programmed correctly.

RE: Kurtosis value fro car engine
How that works out in terms of kurtosis I am not sure, but it sounds as though you've got a mistake. what do you get for a square wave (etc)
