ABSTRACT
In the last chapter we have shown that it is possible to use k-cosine to determine the region of support without using any input parameter. The region of support as determined by this procedure is symmetric in the sense that it consists of equal number of points on either side of the point of interest. The region of support as determined by Rosenfeld-Johnston [139], Rosenfeld-Wezska [142] and Teh and Chin [170] is also symmetric. But there is no reason why the region of support should be symmetric. We believe that an asymmetric region of support is more reasonable and more natural to occur than a symmetric region of support. A symmetric region of support may be looked upon as a special case of asymmetric region of support.
