kurtosis
Calculate the rolling kurtosis of a target column within a given window size.
Kurtosis measures the "tailedness" of the probability distribution of a real-valued random variable. High kurtosis indicates a distribution with heavy tails (outliers), suggesting a higher risk of extreme outcomes. Low kurtosis indicates a distribution with lighter tails (less outliers), suggesting less risk of extreme outcomes. This function helps in assessing the risk of outliers in financial returns or other time series data over a specified rolling window.
