What hypothesis test can I use to test the null hypothesis that the Kurtosis of a data set is normal

95 Views Asked by At

I am completing a stats project in R and so far I have created a function that computes the sample kurtosis of a data set. I have then used bootstrapping to compute a 95% confidence interval for the kurtosis. Now I am wanting to perform a hypothesis test where the null hypothesis is that the kurtosis is zero and the alternative hypothesis is that the kurtosis is not zero. What test should I be using for this?

I know that a zero kurtosis value suggests the data is normally distributed so should I somehow be using the student t test where I assume the data is normally distributed?
