Summary

Description
English: Plot of several symmetric unimodal probability densities with unit variance. From highest to lowest peak:
 
red, kurtosis 3, Laplace (D)ouble exponential distribution;
 
orange, kurtosis 2, hyperbolic (S)ecant distribution;
 
green, kurtosis 1.2, (L)ogistic distribution;
 
black, kurtosis 0, (N)ormal distribution;
 
cyan, kurtosis −0.593762…, raised (C)osine distribution;
 
blue, kurtosis −1, (W)igner semicircle distribution;
 
magenta, kurtosis −1.2, (U)niform distribution.

# Laplace double exponential distribution, kurtosis 3
laplace(x) = exp(-abs(x)*sqrt(2)) * sqrt(0.5)

# sech distribution, kurtosis 2
sech(x) = 2.0 / (exp(x) + exp(-x))
sech_pdf(x) = 0.5 * sech(0.5*pi*x)

# logistic distribution, kurtosis 1.2
slogist = sqrt(3) / pi
logist(x) = exp(-x/slogist) / slogist / (1 + exp(-x/slogist))**2

# normal distribution, kurtosis 0
n(x) = exp(-0.5*x*x) / sqrt(2*pi)

# raised cosine distribution, kurtosis -0.59376
scos = 1.0 / sqrt(1/3.0 - 2/pi**2)
cosine(x) = abs(x)>scos? 0 : (1+cos(x*pi/scos))*0.5/scos

# Wigner semicircle distribution, kurtosis -1
wigner(x) = abs(x)>2? 0 : sqrt(4-x*x)*0.5/pi

# uniform distribution, kurtosis -1.2
uniform(x) = abs(x)>sqrt(3)? 0 : 0.5/sqrt(3)
