/**
* Computes the Kurtosis of the available values.
*
* We use the following (unbiased) formula to define kurtosis:
*
* 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)]
*
* where n is the number of values, mean is the {@link Mean} and std is the
* {@link StandardDeviation}
*
* Note that this statistic is undefined for n < 4. Double.Nan
* is returned when there is not sufficient data to compute the statistic.
* Note that Double.NaN may also be returned if the input includes NaN
* and / or infinite values.
*
* Note that this implementation is not synchronized. If
* multiple threads access an instance of this class concurrently, and at least
* one of the threads invokes the increment() or
* clear() method, it must be synchronized externally.
