Kurtosis measures the shape of the distribution in terms of its peakedness or flatness. High kurtosis indicates a sharp peak and a long tail, while low kurtosis indicates a flatter distribution without a strong peak. Therefore, kurtosis is the best choice to measure the relative peakedness or flatness of the curve.
