Abstract
Abstract This paper examines the efficiency of thesample kurtosisin obtaining LP estimates as an estimates of central tendency for symmetric distributions. Moreover, guidelines are established for determining an optimal value of P based on the kurtosis of the error distribution. Keywords: Lp norm estimateskurtosisMonte Carlo simulation
