The choice of an optimal number of sampling intervals in the domain of definition of the probability density is studied as a function of the antikurtosis coefficient. Quantitative relationships between the sampling coefficient and the antikurtosis are found for symmetric and nonsymmetric distributions. Their features are analyzed for different utilization conditions.
