Line 1: Line 1:
A leptokurtic frequency distribution (or leptokurtotic distribution) has a larger number of values clustered at the peak and in the tails, than a comparable normal distribution with the same variance and mean.
An item transferred by a borrower to a lender, as a security for a debt.


A possible explanation for this shape is that the market under review is mean reverting for small market movements (explaining the clustering at the peak) and trending for large market movements (explaining the clustering in the tails).
The borrower remains the legal owner of the item, but if the borrower fails to repay the loan the lender has the right to sell it and to use the proceeds to pay the debt.
