R help - Sep 2007 - kurtosis

Hi, 

I cannot find the function kurtosis. Is it sth additional I am meant to
download? I use the MacOS X version of R.

Many thanks
Samira

According to the docs package e1071 has kurtosis.

 Don't think R has a built in kurtosis() function, but
see e.g.

http://finzi.psych.upenn.edu/R/Rhelp02a/archive/84433.html

  RSiteSearch("kurtosis") would probably have gotten you some answers.

   cheers

If you have access to it, look at M. J. Crawley's Statistics: An
Introduction
Using R.   See page 71-72 specifically.
