We will use functions from SciPy package to calculate skew and kurtosis.
1import pandas as pd
2
3from scipy.stats import skew, kurtosis
4
5# 'stock_data' is a DataFrame containing the 'Simple Returns' column
6
7# Calculate skewness and kurtosis
8
9skewness = skew(stock_data['Simple Returns'].dropna())
10
11kurtosis_value = kurtosis(stock_data['Simple Returns'].dropna())
12
13print(f"Skewness: {skewness}")
14
15print(f"Kurtosis: {kurtosis_value}")
