On emploie le mot aplatissement pour décrire la courbure anormale (ou gibbosité) d'une courbe de fréquence par rapport à la courbe idéale [la distribution normale]. Quand la courbe est plus aplatie que la courbe normale, on dit qu'elle est platicurtique; quand elle est plus aigue, on dit qu'elle est leptocurtique; une courbe normale est dite mésocurtique (en grec, "kurtosis" signifie bosse, "platus" large, "leptos" grêle et "mesos" au milieu de). 1, record 2, French, - courbe%20m%C3%A9socurtique
