Platykurtic refers to a distribution's curve that is relatively flat in comparison to a normal curve, and has fewer outliers or extreme values. Leptokurtic, on the other hand, refers to a distribution's curve that is relatively peaked in comparison to a normal curve, and has more outliers or extreme values. Positive skew and negative skew refer to the direction of the asymmetry in a distribution, with positive skew indicating a tail to the right and negative skew indicating a tail to the left.
