Shape parameter value

Trial and error

Rolland L. Hardy [15]

\(0.815{\text{d}};{\text{ d}} = \frac{1}{{\text{N}}}\mathop \sum \limits_{{{\text{k}} = 1}}^{{\text{N}}} {\text{d}}_{{\text{i}}}\)

\({\text{d}}_{{\text{i}}}\) is the distance between point and neighbourhood

Richard Franke [16]

\(\frac{1.25 D}{{\sqrt N }}\); D is the diameter of minimal circle

G. E. Fasshauer (2002) [64]

\(\frac{2}{\sqrt N }\)

The power function

Neyman and Pearson [65]
