 In terms of shape, a platykurtic distribution has "thinner tails".Examples of platykurtic distributions include the continuous and discrete uniform distributions, and the raised cosine distribution.The most platykurtic distribution of all is the Bernoulli distribution with "p" = 1/2 (for example the number of times one obtains "heads" when flipping a coin once, a coin toss), for which the excess kurtosis is −2.
