KurtosisAzimuthCoefficient: Calculation of the kurtosis coefficient of the azimuths

Description

This function calculates the kurtosis coefficient from a set of the input azimuths.

Usage

KurtosisAzimuthCoefficient(azimuths)

Arguments

azimuths

Vector containing the values of the azimuths

Value

The value of the kurtosis coefficient for all input azimuths.

Details

One way to obtain a set of azimuths from X and Y coordinates of the vectors is to use the LoadData function.
