Default Re: Are Winrates Normally Distributed?

There are two easy numbers that reflect the "normalness" of the distribution. Skewness measures the bias towards one side of the mean, and kurtosis measures the fatness of the tails of the distribution. In excel, you can easily get these numbers using the functions skew() and kurt(), with the arguments for the functions being simply the winrate series. Can you do that, and post or PM me the results, for each of the block sizes?
