/**
* Returns the kurtosis of a binomial distribution.
*
* @param {NonNegativeInteger} n - number of trials
* @param {Probability} p - success probability
* @returns {number} excess kurtosis
*
* @example
* var v = kurtosis( 100, 0.1 );
* // returns ~0.051
*
* @example
* var v = kurtosis( 20, 0.5 );
* // returns ~-0.1
*
* @example
* var v = kurtosis( 10.3, 0.5 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var v = kurtosis( 20, 1.1 );
* // returns NaN
*
* @example
* var v = kurtosis( 20, NaN );
* // returns NaN
