21. However, for shape parameter values ?, ? > 1, the variances ( and therefore the curvatures ) flatten out. 22. The accompanying plots show the log geometric variances and log geometric covariance versus the shape parameters ? and ?. 23. The parameters being fitted include the unit-cell parameters, the instrumental zero error, peak width parameters, and peak shape parameters . 24. The gradient informs one directly about the shape parameter k and the scale parameter \ lambda can also be inferred. 25. The maximum spacing estimator is a consistent estimator in that it shifted Weibull, with a shape parameter less than 1. 26. Therefore, the harmonic mean ( " H X " ) of a beta distribution with shape parameters ? and ? is: 27. The shape parameter \ xi is often restricted to lie in [-1, 1 ], when the probability density function is bounded. 28. It depends on a scale parameter ? > 0 and shape parameters " m " > 1 / 2 and ?. 29. Random generation of gamma variates is discussed in detail by Devroye, noting that none are uniformly fast for all shape parameters . 30. These variances ( and therefore the curvatures ) are much larger for small values of the shape parameter ? and ?.
