PLATYKURTIC
A type of statistical distribution where the points along the X-axis are highly dispersed, resulting in a lower peak (lower kurtosis) than the curvature found in a normal distribution. This low peak, with corresponding thin tails, means the distribution is less clustered around the mean than in a mesokurtic or leptokurtic distribution. Platykurtic is derived from the prefix "platy" which means "broad," resembling its shape - flat, wide or broad. A distribution is platykurtic when the excess kurtosis value is negative.
