/**
 * Computes the Kurtosis of the available values.
 * <p>
 * We use the following (unbiased) formula to define kurtosis:</p>
 *  <p>
 *  kurtosis = { [n(n+1) / (n -1)(n - 2)(n-3)] sum[(x_i - mean)^4] / std^4 } - [3(n-1)^2 / (n-2)(n-3)]
 *  </p><p>
 *  where n is the number of values, mean is the {@link Mean} and std is the
 * {@link StandardDeviation}</p>
 * <p>
 *  Note that this statistic is undefined for n < 4.  <code>Double.Nan</code>
 *  is returned when there is not sufficient data to compute the statistic.</p>
 * <p>
 * <strong>Note that this implementation is not synchronized.</strong> If
 * multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least
 * one of the threads invokes the <code>increment()</code> or
 * <code>clear()</code> method, it must be synchronized externally.</p>
