function [k k0] = circ_kurtosis(alpha, w, dim)
% [k k0] = circ_kurtosis(alpha,w,dim)
% Calculates a measure of angular kurtosis.
%
% Input:
% alpha sample of angles
% [w weightings in case of binned angle data]
% [dim statistic computed along this dimension, 1]
%
% If dim argument is specified, all other optional arguments can be
% left empty: circ_kurtosis(alpha, [], dim)
%
% Output:
% k kurtosis (from Pewsey)
% k0 kurtosis (from Fisher)
