Dear Wikiwand AI, let's keep it short by simply answering these key questions:
Can you list the top facts and stats about L-kurtosis?

In statistics, L-moments are a sequence of statistics used to summarize the shape of a probability distribution.[1][2][3][4] They are linear combinations of order statistics (L-statistics) analogous to conventional moments, and can be used to calculate quantities analogous to standard deviation, skewness and kurtosis, termed the L-scale, L-skewness and L-kurtosis respectively (the L-mean is identical to the conventional mean). Standardised L-moments are called L-moment ratios and are analogous to standardized moments. Just as for conventional moments, a theoretical distribution has a set of population L-moments. Sample L-moments can be defined for a sample from the population, and can be used as estimators of the population L-moments.
