11. The PPCC plot is used first to find a good value of the shape parameter . 12. These last two parameters are analogous to the scale and shape parameters used in probability theory. 13. Sometimes it is specified by only scale and shape and sometimes only by its shape parameter . 14. The mean and sample size parameters are related to the shape parameters ? and ? via 15. In the context of Rician fading, the distribution is often also rewritten using the " Shape Parameter " 16. Points of inflection occur, depending on the value of the shape parameters ? and ?, as follows: 17. This amounts to satisfying that the second partial derivative with respect to the shape parameters is negative 18. This is a family of continuous probability distributions in which the shape parameter can be used to introduce skew. 19. Similarly, one can calculate the value of shape parameters required for the geometric mean to equal 1 / 2. 20. Where b \ geq 0 is a scale parameter and \ eta \ geq 0 is a shape parameter .
